Gen EDGE

I'm trying to build RI triggers for the sample model that comes with Free Ca gen 8.6.

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit  on a 64-bit machine.

The database is oracle 12c 64bit.

The compiler is visual studio 2015.

When I reviewed "CASCADE.out" I found a warning at the beginning of the file as follows:

***WARNING*** Attempting to build GUI Application with 64bit compiler.
***WARNING*** OPT.BITS changed to 32 for GUI Application build.

and at the end of "CASCADE.out" I found a linker error as follows:

Compiles for CASCADE DLL Dependencies done.

Important!  Review above for any errors.

When I reviewed the scripts at \bt\scripts it seems that I'm using wrong machine type.

But I couldn't find any place to set the machine type to 64-bit.

Any idea about a solution to this problem.

Thanks

Osama,

  For GUI C clients, Gen creates 32bit executables only.

  For C servers and C blockmode clients, Gen can create 32bit or 64bit executables.

  From the cascade.out file, it shows "Environment: WINDOWS" which means you have set TPMonitor to Windows in the  Toolset generation parameters.  Having TPMonitor set to Windows means that the cascade will be built to be included in a GUI C client, which means 32bit.

  If you are trying to generate/install the cascade to be included in a C server or a C blockmode client, you will need to set the Toolset TPMonitor to IEFAE.  The re- generate/install the casecade.

  If you are trying to generate/install the cascade to be included in a GUI C client, you will need to leave the Toolset TPMonitor set to Windows, and, set the Build Tool OPT.BITS to 32.  Since the GUI C clients are 32bit only, you will need to install the 32bit version of the Oracle 12 client.

Thanks a lot. I tried it and it works.
