Cannot build a custom library on win64 platform

[Jianshi_Huang]

Hi MKL developers,

I got an error building a custom library on windows 7 64bit.

Here's the script and error message I got. What's wrong with it and how can I make one?

Hello huangjs!

it looks like you are trying to build win64 libraries in win32 environment.
Could you provide values of your LIB and PATH environment variables (echo %PATH% %LIB%)?
Is your host operation system win64?

I'm building it on a win64 machine (windows 7).

The problem is the build environment (VS2008 Express) was set to x86 target by default and it seems there's no way to change it to amd64 due to missing batch file.

Since it's not a MKL problem anymore I'll ask at MS forums.

Thanks!

That's true, VS2008 Express doesn't support X64.

Hello,

I have a small comment to tim18's words. X64 support can be added to Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express by installing Windows SDK. Please see this webpage. Microsoft Windows 7 SDK can be downloaded from here. Also this information may be helpful.

Thanks,
Art
