OpenSim 64-bit Compatibility issues

[Emily McCain]

Using a windows 64-bit operating system, and the 64-bit OpenSim 3.1, the operational space controller plug in would compile in Visual Studio 2010 express, but it would not run. Error messages including 'LINK: fatal error LNK1104" or "Unknown Exception" were displayed under different settings. When 32-bit Opensim 3.1 was installed, the plug in was able to run correctly. Are there any settings in Visual Studio 2010 express that would allow the use of 64-bit OpenSim version 3.1? Or is it possible to use a compiler other than Visual Studio that would minimize compatibility issues?

Hi,

When you create your plugin via CMake, you should select right compiler(here your system should select Visual Studio 10 Win64) to generate the .dll file.

Best,

Hi Xiangjie,

When I selected this option in Cmake, the error "Cannot enable 64-bit tools with Visual Studio Express" popped up. Is there any other solution that will work with the Visual Studio 2010 Express edition?

I downloaded Visual Studio 2010 pro, and was able to run cmake without issues. However, when I tried to build in Visual Studio I get fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'excpt.h' : No such file or directory. Any suggestions?
