64-bit Onig library?

Is there a 64-bit Oniguruma library?

Yes; it's distributed with the x64 version of Take Command.

I mean a LIB for building. It's not in the 64-bit SDK.

I can't redistribute the Oniguruma library. But you can download & build
your own.

Any tips? I usually find building third party stuff a challenge. What version
are you using?

Onig 5.9.1. (But I'm definitely *not* going be able to provide support for
the Oniguruma code base.)

I don't even want to look at their code. Building the 32-bit version was
trivial (copy win32\Makefile Makefile, copy win32\config.h config.h, nmake).

I haven't got a clue how to build a 64-bit version. Can you help with that?

Sorry, no. It's a bit less trivial; it took me about a day to modify
everything appropriately (it doesn't come with x64 support). I didn't save
any notes on what I did, and I don't have the time right now to try to
recreate everything.

OK, I did it (apparently). For the benefit of anyone else who might want to do it on a 32-bit machine, it didn't take much. Rex, please tell me if this sounds right.

1. copy win32\Makefile Makefile
2. copy win32\config.h config.h
3. Makefile: add /MACHINE:X64 to LINKFLAGS
4. run [path]\vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64
5. nmake

Number 4 above was the stinker. That vcvars stuff is not very well documented (at least I couldn't find it).

Hmmm! What I did wasn't too hard (see recent post and please comment). I got a
64-bit onig.lib, and my 4UTILS built OK and DUMPBIN shows its dependancy on
onig.dll. I have no way of testing whether it'll actually work. I finally
found docs on VCVARSALL.BAT and the "x86_amd64" option is correct (according to
MS) for host X86 and target x64.

If you're only trying to create a lib that will allow you to link against
the onig.dll in v11, that will probably work. If you're trying to create a
static lib or your own dll, it won't -- I had to make some code changes to
fix some 64-bit problems. (Mostly pointer arithmetic.)

That's all I want ... so I can build my plugins. One user downloaded my 4UTILS
for x64 and reported that it works ... loads, at least. I doubt he tested any
of the ONIG stuff but I suppose it'll be OK if it's using your DLL.
