Neko mingw64/VC x64 build

[dlots]

Hello Andy, I was wondering if you were interested/had an intent in providing the above specified builds within your CMake building pipeline. I don't particularly care about between either one, but would like to obtain a win64 build with the least amount of effort. If not, I'll start looking into the CMake and obtaining the deps on windows shortly. Thanks

Seems pretty easy to build for Win64. zlib needs to be changed to 

URL http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz

URL_MD5 1c9f62f0778697a09d36121ead88e08e

In CMakeLists.txt at line 469

I am getting on install:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(170,5): error MSB6006: "cmd.exe" exited with code -1073741819. [.....compilers.vcxproj]

Also, during the build and install I get a crash dialog from windows saying neko.exe crashed.

in allbuild.log

Bump. I am thinking that this build failed because the haxelib which appears to rely on neko.dll is failing. How are people running win64 haxelib without win64 neko?

Well, I tried running this win64 neko against tora.n and it segfaults when run from cygwin and from windows it crashes. I don't really mind running a win32 environment but I'd be nice to know why this fails and in the future have a win64 environment.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I've had some win64 build issues as you've described, but I had not much idea what was wrong so I didn't reply.

The good news is I've figured it out, pushed some fixes, and AppVeyor now builds for both 32-bit and 64-bit.

You may just grab a 64-bit binary from the "artifacts" page, e.g. this one: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/HaxeFoundation/neko/build/job/d5m7y7xfr3tnetyn/artifacts

The details:

• The zlib version change has already been done in https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/neko/commit/bd3f9f962147e1cb52026a8d64a795a537210e83
  
• neko.exe crash is due to JIT not implemented for 64-bit. Disabling JIT for win64 will "fix" the crash: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/neko/commit/33920ea3a8bb22b486f2c2729db964424a39f675
• Compiling OpenSSL in win64 needs some changes in the CMake config, see https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/neko/commit/32901a6e63cd341a5751b596d739f4c32062506d#diff-af3b638bc2a3e6c650974192a53c7291
• Regarding to win64 haxe/haxelib, currently we do not build and distribute win64 haxe/haxelib. So, that was not a problem... I think someone experimented with it though.

Best regards,

Andy
