Compiling 64bit (EM64T) applications

Hi!

Can I compile an application to an EM64T-Based Platform with Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition? I can choose x64 in the compiler but the IPP System Requirements contains the following:

64-bit Intel EM64T-Based Platforms
(Intel Core 2 Processor Family, Intel Pentium D Processors, Intel Xeon Processors, and other Intel EM64T-compatible Processors)

	OS Version	Supported Compilers
Microsoft Windows*	Windows* XP 64-bit Edition	Intel C++ Compiler 9.0 for Windows Windows Server* 2003 with Service Pack 1 SDK
Linux*	Red Hat Enterprise Linux* 3 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server* 9 Linux system with glibc 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.93, 2.3.2 or 2.3.3, and the 2.4.X or 2.6.X Linux kernel	Intel C++ Compiler 8.1 for Linux, for processors with Intel EM64T Intel C++ Compiler 9.0 for Linux Linux Developer Tools component installed, including GCC, g++, and related tools

I want to compile a 64bit application on a 32bit computer(Windows XP SP2) and run the software on a Windows XP 64bit edition. Is it possible?

Is that enough if I always change the IPPROOT system variable(ia32 or em64t directory)if I want to compile both 32bit and 64bit application?

Thanks in advance,

Bendeguy

Yes, VS2005 supports cross compilation between XP64 and XP32. You must set the X64 flag in your VS options so as to generate 64-bit code which is link compatible with 64-bit IPP library.
