How to compile existing posix code for 64-bit Windows?

问题

I'm ok with using Cygwin or MinGW, but I need to end up with 64-bit code, not 32-bit. This is because I will be calling the DLL from 64-bit managed C#. I can't seem to find and good references for setting up those tools to create 64-bit binaries. Also, it would be nice if the GCC was version 4, not version 3 as came with my Cygwin install.

An alternative would be some form of interprocess communication. I will research that, but what I laid out above is what I really want.

回答1:

The 64-bit MinGW, based on (just released) gcc-4.4.0, is probably your best bet. (Since the mingw-w64 project on sourceforge.net is moving to mingw-w64.org it's better to use mingw-w64.org)

Detailed instructions:
1. Download the archive
2. Extract it somewhere under cygwin. In my case, top-level cygwin directory is C:\cygwin, I extracted the package into mingw directory, and ended up with the following contents in C:\cygwin\mingw (which is visible as /mingw under cygwin:

$ ls -l /mingw
total 1
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 user None  0 May 10 08:32 bin
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 user None  0 May 10 05:45 include
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 user None  0 May 10 08:30 info
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 user None  0 May 10 08:30 lib
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 user None  0 May 10 05:45 libexec
drwxr-xr-x+ 4 user None  0 May 10 05:45 man
lrwxrwxrwx  1 user None 17 May 17 17:20 mingw -> x86_64-pc-mingw32
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 user None  0 May 10 04:16 share
drwxr-xr-x+ 5 user None  0 May 10 04:18 x86_64-pc-mingw32

3. Now compile some C++ code. I used:

// t.cc
#include <vector>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
    vector<string> vs;
    vs.push_back("abc");
}

And compile it like this:

$ /mingw/bin/x86_64-pc-mingw32-g++ t.cc

4. Finally, verify the result is a Windows/x 64 executable, by running dumpbin /headers a.exe:

回答2:

The gcc docs say:

These `-m' switches are supported in addition to the above on AMD x86-64 processors in 64-bit environments.

-m32 -m64 Generate code for a 32-bit or 64-bit environment. The 32-bit environment sets int, long and pointer to 32 bits and generates code that runs on any i386 system. The 64-bit environment sets int to 32 bits and long and pointer to 64 bits and generates code for AMD's x86-64 architecture.

Note that that's going to drive you crazy, I think, if mingw really does it that way, since normally on Windows 64 long is 32 bits and long long is the 64-bit pointer-sized type.
