HiWith my latest changes, 112 modules (60%) build successfully, and the remaining blockers currently are: - vcl, which is almost fixed. It needed changing SetClassLong() to SetClassLongPtr(), and several other such Windows API changes for 64 bit compatibility. - connectivity, which builds but some of its DLLs (notably dbtools) fail to link, with mysterious missing symbol errors. - testtools, which runs a UNO test, which fails as our Win64 UNO bridge is still buggy. But I am learning more about x86/amd64 assembly language, and Windows ABI details, such as C++ exception handling in assembly, and hope to fix that UNO bridge eventually.
That sounds great! Do you plan to cherry-pick that for AOO42X?
But there are still a lot of compiler warnings, and it sounds like LO took years to get their Win64 version fully working.
Always remember, the work on LO is mostly done by paid full time developers. We are all volunteers who do it in our spare time...
A Win64 version is increasingly important, as Java is deprecating Win32 support.
Yes, Win64 is important.But I don't see JAVA Win32 deprecated in the *near* future (at least not for JAVA 8 and 11)
I only use the JAVA runtime from Adoptium, though. Regards, Matthias
As always, you can test by passing --enable-win64 to ./configure on Windows, and "source winAMD64Env.set.sh". Join the fun? Regards Damjan
