seperate 32bit and 64bit server built with necessary package included

[anantshri]

32bit and 64bit should have seperate packages based on the dependency required.

I'm not entirely sure if this is necessary, since the server is in Java, Java handles x86 vs x64 processing internally. Since we're not using any external native libraries this should be a non issue.

The issue is with the bluecove library it has different versions 32bit and 64bit. I think we should plan to package all the dependency as a single package. Although we don't need to change anything on code here but it will just be the package available for download should have proper dependencies included in jar format.

[Tsaukpaetra]

Right. I'll have to test in 64 bit mode then. Perhaps tomorrow. :)

this should not be a show stopper we can always point them to download proper binaries. however having packages would help us in our own process. something i would target before we start deployning play store versions.

I booted into Windows 7 64 bit, works just fine out of the box. Java can be pretty smart sometimes! ;)

Did you tried connecting bluetooth. Its just with bluetooth the default ones don't allow you to connect with bluetooth.

yep, nothing out of the norm. although Bluetooth is a bit slower when screen capture is on. I didn't have to have any special drivers or anything, but I'll test with a few more machines to be certain.

Wait, it seems like my java is running in 32 bit mode, not 64 bit. (Java.exe is located in "\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin" :/

Alright, I found the latest builds of the bluecove library. Seems development stopped on these after 2010, but the libraries work in both 64bit and 32bit mode. Found a new bug though that the registry path the server uses for the settings does not exist properly when running in 64 bit mode. Error is as follows: WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0 x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.

Unfortunately, this does not generate a stack trace, so I will have to drill down and figure out where these preferences are coming from. ;)

[Tsaukpaetra]

So I found out that the error is specific to java itself (whew). I think it's safe to say we're good to go as far as 32bit/64bit server versions.

cool good to hear that.
