I had glade up and running in windows vista 64-bit but now that I upgraded my workstation to windows 7 64-bit glade does not come up.

I know that the current version is only tested on XP and Vista. I was just wondering if someone has been able to run on their win 7 os.

The Windows version is currently supported on 32 bit, not 64. Sorry.

Thanks for the clarification. Are there any plans for 64-bit support? Isn't the majority of Windows 7 users on 64-bit versions. Particular the IC design community?

In theory this should be possible as VC++ supports cross-compilation to x64. I don't have a 64 bit windows platform to test on, though.

I am more than happy to test it if you can provide the build.

I will take a look. It will require building a 64 bit version of Qt, as Trolltech don't ship a prebuilt 64 bit version as far as I'm aware.

After a few false starts the Qt library is building using the VC2008 cross compiler... so it looks possible.

OK I may need some help to get this thing linked - Glade needs the ActiveState python library for the linker. However, the 64 bit version uses the 64 bit Windows Installer, which of course won't run on a 32 bit machine...

If you can download the 64 bit version of python (which you will want anyhow), unpack it and send me the following files (zipped):

python26.lib
python26.dll

then I should be able to build the 64 bit executable.

I cannot find the DLL in the version 2.6.5 install. I have attached the compressed install folder and the LIB file. I hope that resolves the problem, else let me know.

Hi, it doesn't look like the attachment worked. How big is the file - can you email it? Send to support@peardrop.co.uk, thanks.

Edit: I have changed the limit for attachment file sizes - it was 200Kb only before.

For the python26.dll, try looking in C:\windows\system32 (or the equivalent for 64 bit windows).
