Re: 64-bit Windows builds
:bump:

Was there a separate branch for these builds, or was it just the cmake branch? And if it's just the cmake branch then I presume you need to make changes to MSVC to compile in 64bit mode?

Just the cmake branch, and no, no changes were necessary; the cmake branch can create 64-bit MSVC project files.

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

When you gaze long into BMPMAN, BMPMAN also gazes into you.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

You need to select the Win64 version of Visual Studio in the CMake configure dialog. Then CMake will generate project files that that are configured for 64-bit building.

Re: 64-bit Windows builds
Thanks guys, I'll have to see how this turns out  :nervous:  :D

Since FS2_Open 3.7.4 was released, why it is quiet here? I've never seen it committed to main branch. I've love to see it, along with large-addressing features.

The ability to build 64-bit builds has been integrated into the main branch but the nightlies are not built in 64-bit mode yet.

 
Is there any obstacle to doing so?
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

The poll is still active but it's currently in favor of only providing 64-bit builds.
