Hi. I need to build JNI libraries under win x86_64 platform as was said in FAQ:

http://eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#howbuilddll

I've got some questions:

1) Which versions of compilers I can use? I want to make an attempt with vc 9 integrated with MVS 2008, does it suit?

2) In build.bat file I've found next line in :x86_64 section:

call %MSSDK%\setenv /X64 /RETAIL

I suppose that in this line we try to call setenv function using setenv.bat from WDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms792423.aspx), don't we?

3) Which win platform can I use for it? Will everything be alright if I use Windwo XP x64?

Thanks.

SWT uses "Windows Server 2003 SP1 SDK" to compile its Windows libraries for
x86_64. This SDK is available from microsoft as a free download, so I think
your easiest path is to just get it and try it. I'm sure that VC9 could be
used as well, but this may require making some changes in make_win32.mak.

setenv is setenv.cmd, which ships with the SDK. It sets up your environment
for compiling.
