How to compile flexdll with msvc64 #19

Closed saixmh closed 7 years ago

saixmh commented 8 years ago

Does it need Cygwin or MSYS ?

dra27 commented 8 years ago

You can compile the C part (flexdll_msvc64.obj and flexdll_initer_msvc64.obj) manually by running (from an appropriate Microsoft Visual Studio Command Prompt):

cl /DMSVC /c /Foflexdll_msvc64.obj flexdll.c
cl /Foflexdll_initer_msvc64.obj flexdll_initer.c

No other software is required. If you want to compile flexlink as well, it's a few more commands, and you obviously need OCaml installed (4.03.0 for the latest git version; 3.12.0+ for 0.34):

rc version.rc
ocamlopt -g -w -105 -o flexlink.exe -cclib "-link version.res" version.ml coff.ml cmdline.ml create_dll.ml reloc.ml

though note that this is much easier with Cygwin (or MSYS2), as you can run:

make CHAINS=msvc64 all

@dra27 Thanks for the reply!

@saixmh Did you manage to build flexdll?

saixmh commented 7 years ago

@dra27 thanks. @alainfrisch Yes, I once tried to build it. But I used gcc at that moment.
