Building for Windows 7 64 bit with 64 bit dynamic perl

[Suresh Govindachar]

Hello,

At present, I am downloading vim sources (using mercurial) with the view to
using MinGW 64 to build for Windows 7 64 bit, huge version with OLE and with
support for dynamic perl 64 bit version 5.12. I am planning to use
Make_ming.mak.

Are there any know issues with this attempt? Has anyone had success with
such an attempt?

Thanks,

--Suresh

I looked inside Make_ming.mak -- it appears to be hard-coded
for 32 bit windows.

Please do let me know if you have successfully built a 64 bit
vim for Windows 7 64 bit with support for 64 bit perl 5.12.

Thanks,

I cannot remember clearly because I no longer compile vim myself. Last
year I built vim using mingw without perl. It might be a 64-bit built but
I cannot be sure. You might try by yourself since it was quite straight
forward if I remember correctly.
