Description Oyvind Harboe

2010-02-26 06:19:57 EST

Build Identifier:  I20100129-1300

The suspend button is ghosted when debugging on x64 machines

I've got an amd x64 and spawner.dll for 32 bit won't load, even if I tinker the java.library.path to point to the location for spawner.dll

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Users\zy1000\Desktop\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.cdt.core.win32_5.1.0.201002081441\os\win32\x86\spawner.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform


Reproducible: Always

AFAIK the spawner.dll has not been available for win32 x86_64 before, so I assume this is an enhancement request to add it.  I don't have access to a windows 64 bit OS, so it would be much appreciated if you could check out the spawner sources from CVS and build the binaries yourself.  You need MinGW and JDK-1.5 to build it.

Isn't it in the requirements that Eclipse CDT should work on x86 64?

I don't use Eclipse on Cygwin myself, I only discovered that it is now broken.

Just a personal opinion, but Windows 64 runs 32-bit applications so well, I'm not sure why you'd use the 64-bit version of Eclipse.

We have already alerted the Eclipse gang that the CDT may not support 64-bit, and this would be the reason why. We're not committing to 64-bit Windows support. Depends if we get a contribution to support it.

BTW, you need mingw64 and I'm not sure how stable that is.

Customers are using it w/Cygwin. My opinion is moot at that point :-)
