[mapguide-internals] cross-compiling CS-Map 64-bit

[Trevor Wekel]

Hi Traian,

From what I recall boost in branches/3.5 is a bit out of date and does not compile cleanly on a 64 bit OS.  It should already be fixed in trunk.  I am currently building 3.5 for MapGuide 2.2.

Regards,
Trevor

Hi Trevor,

What exactly build problem do you have with Fdo Thirdparty? I'm asking, because I've been using a 64 bit OS for both 32 and 64 bit FDO builds for years now, and haven't had problems -- but then, I don't always build all the providers...

Traian

P.S. Actually, the default VC 64 bit compiler is itself a 32 bit executable, so you are always cross-compiling for 64 bit images, even on a 64 bit OS.

Hmm... This issue is more tricky than it seems.

The cs_comp.exe executable depends on the CSMap library.  Cross compiling for 64 bit on a 32 bit machine means that the 64 bit build/install script for MapGuide has to build both the 32 bit and the 64 bit of the CSMap library just so that the 32 bit cs_comp.exe can generate the dictionaries on the 32 bit machine.  It is a bit weird.  Walt's fix for the build issue is probably as good as we can get.

MapGuide 2.2 has branched and is now using http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/csmap/branches/12.02/.  This fix may also need to be applied to branches/12.02.

Incidentally, the MapGuide Open Source build VM I have been using is a 64 bit OS.  That's why I asked to get cs_comp.exe added to the 64 bit build.  The open source build is already complicated enough without having to build the 32 bit cs_comp.exe and CsMap library just to get the dictionaries compiled.

Is seems as though everyone else is using a 32 bit machine to cross compile 64 bit MapGuide, Fdo, and CsMap.  I could throw away the 64 bit MapGuide build machine and rebuild a 32 bit image from scratch.  This will take me approximately 2 days and another $1000 in licensing fees.  Total cost, somewhere around $2500.  Obviously, I am not too keen on doing this but there seem to be multiple "incompatibility" quirks with doing the builds on a native 64 bit OS - mostly with Fdo Thirdparty and CsMap.

Walt - what operating system does Autodesk use internally to build MapGuide, FDO, and CsMap?
 

Regards,
Trevor

The post-build step was adjusted yesterday in the CsMap trunk stream.

Hi All,

I am having an issue compiling CS-Map with the 64-bit Visual C++ cross-compiler. The problem is that the "Compiler" project has a post-build event which actually runs the compiled executable (CS_Comp.exe).

If I am cross-compiling CS-Map from a 32-bit environment, this will obviously fail because CS_Comp.exe will be a 64-bit binary.

What I was wondering is if I can get away with explicitly building the "Compiler" project as 32-bit while building the rest as 64-bit. The purpose of CS_Comp.exe is just to compile these CS dictionaries and isn't used by any other MapGuide component. Am I correct in saying this?

- Jackie
