compile dcmtk as Windows 64 bit library

[schultze]

Is it possible to compile dcmtk as 64 bit DLL (e.g. with Visual Studio 2008) and use it from a 64 bit application? Which DCMTK version should be used in that case?
I tried it with 3.5.4 but it seems that dcmdata needs 32 bit windows DLLs like wsock32 and netbios32 so it doesn't start on the win64 machine.

It sounds like you have more windows 64 problem than a dcmtk problem.

Windows 64 searches the dll in the syswow64 directory. Put the
wsock32 and netbios32 in this directory and try it. Maybe this helps.

Hi,

For some external project I compiled DCMTK on a 64 bit windows machine in Multithreaded DLL mode; so in general that should work! Be sure to change the visual studio compiler flags in dcmt's main CMakeLists.txt from MTd to MDd and MT to MD (or do that directly within Visual Studio).

Best regards,
Michael

Hi,

thank you for the quick help - now it works fine on my 64 bit target system!

Hi,

we changed from a WinXP system to Windows Server 2008 and face now the problem that wlmscpfs.exe is running as a process but does not respond to any modality. The process is running with administrator privileges. The setup is the same as before on the XP-system.
Unfortunately I do not have a machine where I can make a 64bit binary. Is there anybody who could mail me a 64bis wlmscpfs.exe?

In the meantime we could detect the problem: the public firewall had to be bypassed.
