Re: Creating a 64-bit build configuration

Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific by saying that I don't
know how the tool does that (under the hood). Presumably something in
selecting the configuration causes the IDE to use the 64-bit compiler
and tools, but I don't know the details - which is I suppose is good
in that it's just worked for me and I've never needed to find out :)

Visual Studio find the C++ compiler, linker, etc. by searching the path
specified in:
Tool | Options | Projects and Solutions | VC++ Directories | Executable
files

The different platforms (Win32, x64, etc. ) have different executable file
paths.

Doh, of course.

I probably only ever look there once or twice a year - in order to set
up special include paths.

Age related memory loss - eek! :(
