-Borland C++ 5.0/5.5 compilation
--------------------------------
+Microsoft Visual C++ compilation for 64-bit Windows
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Visual Studio 2005 includes 64-bit compilers, though they are not installed by
+default; you need to select them during the installation. Both native 64-bit
+compilers and 32-bit hosted cross compilers are included, so you do not need a
+64-bit machine to use them (though you do to run the created executables).
+Visual C++ Express Edition does not include 64-bit compilers.
+
+64-bit compilers are also available in various SDKs, for example
+the .NET Framework SDK:
+    http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/programming/64bit/devtools/
+
+Using project files:
+
+1. Open the VC++ 6 workspace file: build\msw\wx.dsw. Visual Studio will then
+   convert the projects to the current Visual C++ project format.
+
+2. To add 64-bit targets, go to the 'Build' menu and choose 'Configuration
+   Manager...'.  In the 'Active solution platform' drop down choose '<new>',
+   then you can choose either 'Itanium' or 'x64'.
+
+   For more detailed instructions see:
+    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9yb4317s(en-us,vs.80).aspx
+
+   Note: 64-bit targets created this way will use the build directory of the
+         corresponding 32-bit target for some files. Therefore after building
+         for one CPU it is necessary to clean the build before building the
+         equivalent target for another CPU. We've reported the problem to MS
+         but they say it is not possible to fix it.
+
+3. To build, go to the 'Build' menu and choose 'Batch Build...'. Tick all the
+   all the 'x64|Debug' or all the 'Itanium|Debug' projects, and click 'Build'.
+
+   This will build a debug version of the static libs. The section above on
+   Visual C++ in general has more information about adjusting the settings to
+   build other configurations.
+
+4. To compile one of the samples open one of the sample projects, such as
+   samples\minimal\minimal.dsw. Visual Studio will convert the project as in
+   step 1, then add a 64-bit target as in step 2, and build.
+
+Using makefiles:
+
+1. Open a 64-bit build command prompt, for either x64 or Itanium. Change
+   directory to build\msw. Then for x64 type:
+
+    nmake -f makefile.vc TARGET_CPU=AMD64
+
+   or for Itanium:

 
 

-Compiling using the makefiles (updated 24 Sept 02):
+    nmake -f makefile.vc TARGET_CPU=IA64
+
+   This will build a debug version of wxWidgets DLLs. See "Configuring the
+   build" for instruction how to build other configurations such as a release
+   build or static libraries.
+
+2. Change to the directory of one of the samples such as samples\minimal. Type
+   the same command used to build the main library, for example for x64:
+
+    nmake -f makefile.vc TARGET_CPU=AMD64
+
+Notes:
+
+The versions of the VC++ 8 compiler included with some SDKs requires an
+additional library to be linked or the following error is received.
+
+    LNK2001 unresolved external symbol __security_check_cookie
+
+If you receive this error add bufferoverflowu.lib to link, e.g.:
+
+    nmake -f makefile.vc TARGET_CPU=AMD64 LDFLAGS=bufferoverflowu.lib
+
