Modifying a Qt windows32 bit project so it can be compiled for windows 64 bit using visual studio 2012

musimbate

Hi all I am working on a project that was previously done for win 32 bit platforms and I want to modify it so it can be run on Windows64 bit machines .I believe I have to make changes in the pro file of the project but I don't know how to proceed with these compiler options.

Here is a section of my .pro file
@TARGET = "Open-Sankore"
TEMPLATE = app

THIRD_PARTY_PATH=../Sankore-ThirdParty

CONFIG -= flat
CONFIG += debug_and_release
no_include_pwd

VERSION_MAJ = 2
VERSION_MIN = 00
VERSION_TYPE = r # a = alpha, b = beta, r = release, other => error
VERSION_PATCH = 00

VERSION = "$${VERSION_MAJ}.$${VERSION_MIN}.$${VERSION_TYPE}.$${VERSION_PATCH}"
VERSION = $$replace(VERSION, "\.r", "")

LONG_VERSION = "$${VERSION}.$${SVN_VERSION}"
macx:OSX_VERSION = "$${VERSION} (r$${SVN_VERSION})"

VERSION_RC = $$VERSION_MAJ,$$VERSION_MIN,$$VERSION_TYPE,$$VERSION_PATCH
VERSION_RC = $$replace(VERSION_RC, "a", "160") # 0xA0
VERSION_RC = $$replace(VERSION_RC, "b", "176") # 0xB0
VERSION_RC = $$replace(VERSION_RC, "r", "240") # 0xF0

Thanks.

Hi,

Use the qmake from your 64bit Qt and also check that all third party linked libraries are pointing to the respective 64bit version. That should be all for now

Thanks SGaist for the quick reply,
I have done the first part of your suggestion(Use the qmake from your 64bit Qt) but hadn't thought about the third party libraries.So far I am getting an error telling me that uitools are deprecated and that I should use CONFIG += axcontainer instead of CONFIG += qaxcontainer.
Also shouldn't win32 {........} be changed to something like win64 {........}**? Excuse me if this is dumb as I have never built for 64 bit systems.
Thanks for your time.

SGaist

IFAIK (but I may be wrong) there is no win64 scope.
I use the CONFIG function to look up if there is x86 or x86_64 and act accordingly
