building X64: fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x86' confl icts with target machine type 'x64'

[John Laurence Poole]

I successfully built the 32 bit version following the excellent instructions in [root]/build.txt.

I am now attempting to build the 64 bit.  I am running into an error in the Apache Portable Runtime module:

D:\work\TortoiseSVN\version-1.12.2>

I opened a DOS shell from within Visual Studio 2019 using Tools-Command Line-Developer Command Prompt.  I had the Solution "Tortoise SVN" opened and the compile settings set to Release and X64 just in case the command prompt shell was contextually related.

I had to modify my session to pick up NANT and Python:

set PATH=F:\Downloads\SourceForge\Nant\nant-0.92\bin;%PATH%
set PATH=C:\Python27;%PATH%
nant x64 setup

I tried using my existing Tortoise SVN client to clean up and update the D:\work\TortoiseSVN\version-1.12.2\ext\apr folder, nothing was reported out as being deleted.  Attempt to commit confirmed nothing has been changed.  Perhaps I'm not in a proper X64 shell?

[Stefan]

The error "module machine type 'x86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64'" usually indicates a mismatch of the build command and the shell you've opened.

So, for an x64 build, you first have to open the x64 VS command shell (that one is different than the default one, there are more than one in the start menu of Windows).

and then you have to use the 'x64' modifier in the build command:

nant x64 setup

not just

nant setup

<sigh> the Microsoft contextual paradigm is so perplexing.  I did not realize that the various command prompts existed, i just launch Visual Studio 2019 and expected whatever is available would be exposed therein.

Further, what is telling is the line "Environment initialized for: 'x64'" that appears at the opening of the shell:

**********************************************************************
