I have a C++ WiX custom action which happens to be a shim to a .NET assembly. I am now trying to produce a 64-bit version of the installation kit.
Questions: 1. Do I have to recompile my shim (i.e. C++ custom action) to 64-bit? 2. If so, here is the problem: - existing WiX C++ libraries (wcautil.lib and dutil.lib) are 32-bit. - i tried linking against them while doing the 64-bit compile but a number of symbols is not found. - trying to solve the problem i ventured down the path of recompiling these libs on to 64-bit platform, but hit a roadblock as i do not know how to pass the required compiler #define to the VisualCPP.ClTask in Nant. Questions: 1. How do i pass /D _X64_ via nant script? Based on the log output, the task that gets executed is VisualCpp.Tasks.ClTask.ExecuteTask. now the nant script only has a call to "makeNativeLib". I am quite puzzled about this target. Where is this coming from? And more importantly how do I pass ClTask.options values through it? Obviously a bunch of "standard" defines are already present (see the log) but i am not sure how i can add my defines to it... Hope this makes sense. Thanks.
