When building on Windows in a 32bit VM running on a 64bit host CPU - I get horrible compile failures. my MSVC_DLL_PATH in config_host.mk points to a VC/redist/x64 directory - which in turn is picked up by external/Package_msvs*.mk to whack an incompatible binary into the solver. That then results in soltools' cpp.exe (the first compiled binary I ran I guess) to fall in a heap - and debugging it is a royal pain. windbg finally told me that msvcr110.dll was corrupt - ie. wrong architecture. I imagine this is configure.ac's fault at root :-)

The gerrit thread had. Andras Timar Jun 20 5:55 PM Patch Set 1: This need some tweaks before it is merged Your patch fixes your build but breaks the "logic". With this patch 64-bit shell extensions will not work for users who do not have the 64-bit VC2010 Runtime installed. I'll prepare a better patch soon. Michael Stahl Jun 20 6:55 PM Patch Set 1: This need some tweaks before it is merged Andras is right: the 64bit dlls are copied to solver/bin so that the installer finds them since they are packaged as files, while the 32bit ones are in some mystery MSM thingy and (apparently) don't need to be in solver. confusingly the same find_msvc_x64_dlls function also finds debug dlls (for the build CPU architecture, not necessarily 64bit), which should not be in the installation set; i'm not sure if it's actually necessary to copy these to solver/bin nowadays (AFAIR it was needed for MSVC 2008 but they should actually be installed on the system by MSVC). so clearly there's some need for cleanup here. But Fridrich merged it anyway to 4.1. So I'll close this. The reality is that the -4-1 and master branches are un-buildable without this, and the build fails in a silent and extremely ugly fashion. Personally I'd prefer to have something buildable that misses out on some obscure feature - but ...
