There are a number of barriers to building ASCEND on 64-bit Windows:

We are working towards fixing these items.

Steps to date:

  • install MSYS bundle to c:\msys as instructed here
  • install MinGW-64 bundle to c:\mingw64 as instructed (we used mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20111220.zip
  • install 64-bit Python 2.7.2
  • append /c/Python27 and /c/Python27/Scripts to the PATH in MSYS.
  • download and extract source tarball for SCons 1.2.0. Build via python setup.py bdist_wininst then install resulting .exe in dist subfolder.
  • create 'scons' file in c:\Python27\Scripts containing
#!/bin/sh
python /c/Python27/Scripts/scons.py $*
  • svn checkout ASCEND source code (from trunk)
  • scons

For SUNDIALS (used by the IDA solver):

  • ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw --prefix=/mingw
  • make -j4
  • make install

Things we need to work on:

  • Installing the MinGW-64 toolchain with 'standard' (local) tool filenames (maybe a quick script to rename or symlink them?)
  • Detecting 32-bit vs 64-bit Windows
  • config.h.in etc for size of void * etc.
  • Detecting Python linker flags
  • Building PyGTK etc for our version of Python
  • Packaging it all (will NSIS 32-bit be OK to use?)
