9HOW TO COMPILE HERCULES FOR AMD64
10
111. Install Visual C++ 2010 Express from the Visual Studio 2010 Express page:
12   http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/express
13
142. Install Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 from:
15   http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279
16   IMPORTANT: select all components *except* the Visual C++ Compilers
17
183. Install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (VS10sp1-KB983509) from:
19   http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23691
20
214. Install Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Compiler Update
22   for the Windows SDK 7.1 (VC-Compiler-KB2519277) from:
23   http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4422
24
255. Go to the start menu and choose "All Programs"
26   - "Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1" - "Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt"
27
286. Change to the directory where you unpacked the Hercules source
29
307. If you require gzip or bzip2 for disk or tape compression, or if you
31   require PCRE for the Hercules Automatic Operator facility, you should
32   install the AMD64 versions of these programs in winbuild\zlib\x64
33   winbuild\bzip2\x64 and winbuild\pcre\x64 under the Hercules directory.
34   You may override these default directory locations by setting
35   environment variables, for example:
36   SET ZLIB_DIR=c:\packages\zlib
37   SET BZIP2_DIR=c:\packages\bzip2
38   SET PCRE_DIR=c:\packages\pcre
39
408. copy makefile.msvc makefile
41
429. nmake clean
43   nmake
44
4510. The binaries will be installed into subfolder "msvc.AMD64.bin"
46   If you compiled on a 32-bit Windows system, copy this folder
47   to your target 64-bit Windows machine.
48
4911. If you copy the binaries to a machine which does not have Visual
50   Studio 2010 (VS10) installed, then you must also install the
51   Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
52   on the target machine. This package can be downloaded from
53   http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632
