Porting to win64, problems Mark 6/12/2007 3:38:01 PM Hi... One of our guys is trying to port the tanuki java service wrapper to win64 so we can try it with the 64-bit jvm and he's running into a lot of quirks. The latest one is that the wrapper calls GetModuleFileName(NULL, szPath, 512) early on in initialization and on the 64-bit os, this function returns just "c" - not the whole path of the executing program. It doesn't like the incomplete result and bails. I googled around a little bit but couldn't find any reference to the fact that GetModuleFileName() doesn't seem to work in the 64-bit os. Any clues as to what's going on? Thanks Mark

Re: Porting to win64, problems Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 6/12/2007 4:08:06 PM Since you're programming with Java, wouldn't you be in better company if you went to the Sun Java Developer's web site and posed your question there? I would venture to guess there are many more Java programmers hanging out there than there are here, especially since this is not a forum geared toward any programming.

Re: Porting to win64, problems Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 6/12/2007 4:17:40 PM If you're trying to develop a web application, Sun has not released a version of Java that has browser support in the 64-bit environment. The 32-bit Java works with all browsers in x64. Here's a link to a Tanuki forum site: http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/introduction.html Theo wrote: [Quoted Text] > Since you're programming with Java, wouldn't you be in better company if > you went to the Sun Java Developer's web site and posed your question > there? > > I would venture to guess there are many more Java programmers hanging > out there than there are here, especially since this is not a forum > geared toward any programming. > > > Mark wrote: >> Hi... >> >> One of our guys is trying to port the tanuki java service wrapper to >> win64 so we can try it with the 64-bit jvm and he's running into a lot >> of quirks. >> >> The latest one is that the wrapper calls GetModuleFileName(NULL, >> szPath, 512) early on in initialization and on the 64-bit os, this >> function returns just "c" - not the whole path of the executing >> program.

Re: Porting to win64, problems Mark 6/12/2007 4:51:03 PM Hi Theo... Tanuki runs java programs as windows services, but it is not written in Java itself. It's written in C. The guys over there haven't tried to port it to Windows 64-bit yet, so there wasn't a lot of useful info there. I was looking for a Microsoft group for programming on the 64-bit os, but didn't see any other group specifically mentioning that.

It doesn't change the programming much, any developer group will probably have assistance for you. Tony. . .
