Re: [Dotgnu-libjit] Help needed to collect intructions about how to build libJIT for Windows XP, Windows Vista platform, and Visual Studio <\eom>

[Kirill Kononenko]

Basically I think of something like a 'setup.exe', and a libjit.dll,
which might be used from Visual Studio.


Thanks,
Kirill

I had an idea about a cross-platform program using libjit, but i noticed
libjit uses autotools which imo can't easily be used within Visual Studio (or
nmake). I had in mind to switch the build tool (at least for me) to cmake
(KDE4 has some nice sciripts for switching) which makes it easy to compile on
linux and windows (and some more). But these plans are stopped right now due
to time issues.
But as Jan said, I can recommend using NSIS for building a setup.exe

Alexander

If you intend to use MSVC under Windows, you can use cmake to create
compiler independent build scripts. However I think there will be many
compatibility issues compiling libJIT with MSVC because the language is
incompatible with GCC.
I use GCC/MinGW for cross-platform development (GNU/Linux and Win32) of
software which currently links with libJIT, Ruby, fftw3, OpenEXR,
pthreads, ... . Moreover MinGW can link against MSVC libraries (not
MSVC++ though) if you need that.

Hi Guys


There seems to be two options.

First, is using cygwin/mingw.

Second, is to try compile libJIT on Visual Studio. There is a high
chance it will work out of the hand or with 1 line that needs to be
change. For example, we have already such things as jit_apply_builtin
assembly code for MSVC.


Thanks,
