64 bit development tools

Hi

Does anyone know where I can get hold of the 64bit compiler and libraries
for the AMD64. Unfortunately I don't have access to MSDN and for some
strange reason microsoft is not making them downloadable. This seems a
strange way to encourage people to port apps to 64 bit ?

GCC fully supports the Opteron. Install one of the 64 bit Linux
distributions and you'll get 64 bit compilers and libraries. Mandrake 9.2
is available in an AMD64 flavor as is SUSE 9.1.

Surely you realise they'll want at least an arm and both legs for it? If
you're one of the developers they actually care about then you'll already
have MSDN. As for their year long "free trial" licenses for their beta
AMD64 OSs. Well IMO, that's an attempt to prevent Linux getting too much
of a lead on them. The fact is that AMD64 and Linux development have been
going on pretty much together. Microsoft have seriously dropped the ball
over this one and are now trying to catch up.

As somemone interested in AMD64 development you might find the site
www.amd64.org quite interesting.

Order the 2003 DDK from Microsoft. It's free but there's a s/h charge of
$15 in my case. Everything you need is in the DDK.

Thanks for the reply. Is MFC included in the DDK ?

I some how doubt it


Thanks Paul

Hi Mammie

Unfortunately your posts got flooded out by "someone". Can we try something
else ?

Thanks again but I missed it

My news server deleted the first part before the last part appeared.

Is there someway of overcoming this. If so can we try again?

Thanks
