I have finally decided to get my feet wet, when it comes to the 64-bit world.
Honestly, all my fears turned out to be valid, and then some. I have a MSVS-2010 Solution that includes several varied projects: GUI, libraries (both kids) and Shell Extensions.
Since a couple of my projects depend on Boost (the greatest set of libraries ever known to man! Boost rocks! Boost rules!!... but I digress): I decided to start there.
Since I am getting some boost-related error messages, I figure that step number zero is to make sure that my Boost installation is healthy.
This is how I build it:
.\bootstrap.bat
.\bjam.exe --with-date_time --with-filesystem --with-regex --with-system --stagedir=. --build-type=complete toolset=msvc-10.0 address-model=64
Notice that the above commands have served me well for years (minus the
last parameter, which I am now using for the first time).
Is that all I need?
TIA,
-Ramon
Ensure you don't install your 64-bit libraries in the same directory as your 32-bit libraries. I forget the option to change this in stage. 32 and 62 bit can share the same include directory.
