Re: 64 bit build on MS-Windows?

I have tried building on the Itanium box with cl version 13.10.2240.8
for IA-64, targeted for Windows Server 2003 for IA-64.  I had to make
a few changes:

1............
job.c(179) : error C2371: 'execve' : redefinition; different basic types
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDK\include\Win64\crt\process.h(227) : see declaration of 'execve'
Declaration of execve:
_CRTIMP intptr_t __cdecl execve(const char *, const char * const *,
const char * const *);

I commented out job.c:179 and it passed, probably there is a more
elegant solution.


2...........
Removed the @ crap so I can see the link line.  Not necessary, but I
prefer it that way.  Also got failures which I fixed by changing lines
39 and 42 of NMakefile, changed MACHINE:I386 to MACHINE:IA64.  Again,
there is probably a more elegant solution that will also work on
32-bit Windows builds.

3............
Didn't run make check, ./configure failed for me using MKS 8.0.
