Compiling for x64 using Visual Studio 2005 (C++)

[boomer3d]

Hey folks,

I have an existing Win32 project that I would like to port to x64. Looking at the IIP data sheet it mentions that the supported version of VS is "Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 SDK". Notknowing if .LIB files (etc) forVS2003 arecompatible for VS2005, does anyone have anyexperience getting this to also work/behave with VS 2005?

Many thanks in advance,

Matt

Hello Matt,

what kind of compatibility do you mean? It is known that win32 application can be runned on x64 OS due to OS simulation layer. But binaries itself are not compatible, so you can't link in one application both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries

Hey Vladimir,

I guess I should be more specific. I'm compiling x64 applications using VS2005. I wanted to know if the 64bit IIP libraries are compatible with that compiler. Anyone here tried this?

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,

yes, IPP libraries are compatible with VC2005. I mean you can use IPP libraries in your VC2005 projects. It is possible that you can met issues compiling IPP samples, because we do test them with Platform SDK compiler, not with VC2005. Please report us any issues you have with compiling, we will be glad to help you to solve it before the next release

Heya Vladimir,

OK, I've decided to use the trial. Now, I'm trying to figure out which version to download from here:

http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/perflib/ipp/219803.htm

I'll try this one: Intel Integrated Performance Primitives v5.1 for Windows* on Intel EM64T-Based Platforms

Sound right?

Matt, yes, it is exactly what you need if your target is x64 systems.

We will be glad to hear any feedback from you.
