Commented Issue: Makefile with 64 bit support

Unless having knowledge about JNI, C++ and Java, then it can be difficult to setup Microsoft SDK properly.

To setup an environment for compiling the DLL:

1) Install Microsoft Vista SDK and ensure that x64 compiler and library is selected (Unselect documentation and samples)
- Have tried using Win2008 SDK and Win7 SDK but the SetEnv.cmd is faulty (Fails to set LIB-path and PATH environment variables properly)
2) Install Sun JDK (I used Sun JDK 1.6 14)
3) Modify the makefile so it points to SDK and JDK
JAVADIR = "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14"
VC = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\VC"
PSDKDIR = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0"

To compile the 32 bit dll:
1) Open a command prompt
2) Setup the VC environment by running this command
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin\SetEnv.Cmd" /Release /x86 /xp
3) Go to the Msmqjava source code (where the makefile resides), and run this command
nmake

To compile a 64 bit dll, then we need to modify the makefile, so it becomes aware of what environment we are targetting. I have attached a makefile, that checks the environment variable CPU and sets the compiler and library accordinly. Use this makefile instead of the one supplied with MsmqJava.

To compile the 64 bit dll (After having updated to the new makefile):
1) Open a command prompt
2) Setup the VC environment by running this command (Notice x64)
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin\SetEnv.Cmd" /Release /x64 /xp
3) Go to the Msmqjava source code (where the makefile resides), and run this command
nmake
Comments: ** Comment from web user: snakefoot **

Seems the reason why SetEnv.cmd on Win2008/Win7 SDK is not working is because it should either be launched with some extra parameters to properly execute SetEnv.cmd:

cmd.exe /E:ON /V:ON

The same parameters are used when using the shortcuts in the Start Menu created by the SDKs

Btw. I have modifed the compiler options in the attached makefile, so it compiles with static libraries, so one avoids the need to deploy extra Microsoft DLLs. http://blogs.msdn.com/aymans/archive/2006/04/04/568466.aspx

CREATED ISSUE: need Unit Tests

There ought to be unit tests for MsmqJava.
