[izpack-devel] Native Libraries for Win 64-bit ?

[Markus Schlegel]

HI Klaus, thanks for you reply.

When I tried to compile JDIC for 64-bit, I
realized 5 minutes ago, that the compiler may be the source of the problem.
So I don't have too look for the reason any longer, thanks.

So it seems, that I have no chance to compile it myself, because I don't
know MS-VC++ enough.
What should be done?
1. Make the native parts of IzPack compilable with VC++2005 (32-bit)
2. Compile for 64bit

Until then, we will ship with the Win32-JRE on all windows and then copy a
win64-VM into the installation, overwrite the win32 files.
