Hello. Can you describe which tools and environment are you used to build wkhtmltopdf lib and its x64 version. What version of QT, with wkhtmltopdf patches or not. What toolchain - mingw or Visual Studio. Thank you.

Hi,

Build instructions for wkhtmltopdf can be found on it's proyect site on googlecode: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/wiki/compilation

Build instructions for wkhtmltoxsharp are a bit easier, you just need to open the .sln file on Visual Studio and build it. ;)

Thank you for quick response. I already read wkhtmltopdf compilation article, but i was particularly interested in compile x64 version. As i unterstand you use MinGW-w64, right? Probably x64-specific issues was related with that toolchain.

Hi,

The last time I tried to build it for x64 was a long time ago and it was on linux using wine+cross-gcc.. sounds weird, but this was at the time the build environment wkhtmltopdf had for win32/64.

Not sure about it, but I think they are now using a windows hosted environment, so things might be a little easier nowadays. ;)

Hope it helps.
