Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] How to compile Wireshark for 64-bit WindowsVista Home Prem
Hi,
As you can see http://buildbot.wireshark.org/trunk/waterfall the build is not yet working. You can download VS2008EE for free from Microsoft I beleve.
Regards
Anders

Ämne: Re: [Wireshark-users] How to compile Wireshark for 64-bit WindowsVista Home Premium and 64-bit Windows 7 beta
Thanks Gerald. I'll see about getting a copy of Visual C++ 2008 when payday rolls around but $ is tight. Is there an open source Win64 compiler you would recommend for Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 beta 64-bit? Or better yet until I can get the compiler, please make the alpha/beta version of the 64-bit binary available for download and we'll test it for you. The first thing I'm looking for is going beyond the RAM limitations of WIN32 compiled WireShark. Then I want to experiment with Skinny SCCP packets on those larger captures.
Thanks,
Brian

If you're _really_ serious this, I'd suggest:
- Taking this discussion over to -dev, since that's where all of the
developers hang out.
- Reading up on LP64 vs LLP64, e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/384502/what-is-the-bit-size-of-long-on-64-bit-windows
Wireshark happily supports 64 bits on LP64 (Linux, OS X, Solaris, etc.)
but LLP64 (Windows) is going to take some work.
- Checking out http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark-win64-libs/trunk/.
This contains 64-bit versions of some of the that we use.
- Looking at config.nmake, all of the instances of Makefile.nmake, and
tools/win32-setup.sh to see where 64-bit support needs to be added.
- Looking at the NSIS, U3, and PortableApps packaging directores.
- Bugging me to add a Windows 64 builder and Bugzilla entries.
- Bugging me to clean up and check in my 64-bit makefile updates.
