x64 build - how to?

[inc++]

Hi!  

I'm using vc2008 and I'm trying to build the libs in 64 bit, however i'm just too clumsy to get it done. I never compiled a lib and my programming experience is...let's say limited, in this field.
What i did was I opened the sfml.sln where all projects are stored and i changed the target machine to x64 wherever possible (libs don't seem to have that option), but I get a lot of errors, namely of the type unresolved external symbol and can't open file. The missing files seem to be qt headers.

Then i tried to compile just the one of the subsystems, namely sfml-graphics, as a static lib. It worked, but what i got was a bunch of obj files, not a .lib.  :roll: I checked the settings, they say project type is static library.

Any advice?

Forget the samples, you don't need them. If you do, then just ignore the Qt/wxWidgets ones if you don't have these libraries installed

Where did you look at after compiling? The libraries are created in <sfml-root>/lib/VC2008.

True. :roll: I thought they were in the temp directory.

Thank you. Works fine now.
