Re: Problems compiling TCL\TK 8.4.12 on 64 bit

I have downloaded the source files for TCL/TK 8.4.12 and am attempting
to compile them on an HP xw9300 with an AMD Opteron running Windows XP
64.

I am using Visual Studio 2003.net and the Microsoft Platform SDK for
Windows Server 2003 SP1.  When I open a window for the IA64 build
environment and attempt to compile the code using:  nmake /f makefile.vc
MACHINE=IA64, I get many warnings and errors and the compilation fails.

Seems as if the compiler switches have changed a good bit from VS 6.0.
Any ideas or pointers?


The Windows 64-bit build support in 8.4.12 is based on using VC6
with the latest platform SDK (which includes the full range of
64-bit compilers).  As I'm avoiding moving beyond VC6, I can't
say specifically what changes that entails.  Pat Thoyts may have
more info, as he provided the later MSVC versions patch.
