Loading a x64 dll #20

Open gwenzek opened 8 years ago

Hi, thanks for this integration with ipython, it's really nice.

I can't load dll compiled as 'x64'. The error I receive is AssemblyLoader failed to load assembly xxx.xxx, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null.

I tried with the same dll at the same location compiled in 'x86' and in 'AnyCpu' and it works.

Is the kernel launched in a 32-bit mode ? Is it possible to launch it in x64 ?

Okay, I recompiled the Kernel project in x64 mode, and replace the iCSharp.Kernel.exe in AppData\Roaming\icsharp by the x64 version. Now I can load my x64 dll :-)

I guess there should be an option in Chocolate to use a x64 build of iCSharp.

@gwenzek can you compile in anycpu and check x64 dll?

gwenzek commented 8 years ago

Ok, I retried in AnyCpu and with the "prefer 32 bit" option I don't see my x64 dlls but without it works fine. But that was expected since I'm on a x64 machine so AnyCpu will be launched in x64 except when "prefer 32 bit" is on.

I think you should provide installation instruction from the sources and therefore let the user choose if he wants a 32bit or 64bit kernel.

@gwenzek I agree, we should have a better installation mechanism that should work seamlessly for both x86 and x64.
