Re: Building plugins for both win32 & win64

[mmann78 () netscape net]

Yea, I've had to do a "distclean" when switching between the two "platforms" since they share common folders (and thus 
object files).  Alan's methodology of installing the source twice and keeping both "platforms" separate is probably the 
only way to avoid the "distclean" and why there's the suggestion of keeping object file folders "platform specfic" when 
switching/upgrading to powershell or msbuild.

There's not much building, mostly downloading.  It is best to keep them separate 
though.

Have you done a 'nmake -f Makefile.nmake clean' when switching between build 
types?  Check after this that there are no object files left lying around 'dir 
/s *.obj' and delete them if there are.  As the builds are done in-tree if you 
don't clean all the previous types object files out they will cause issues with 
the build of the current type.
