Ok, so, I usually compile my own build of ScummVM on both Windows and Linux, and I've run into some problems since the release of 1.3.0. On Linux everything still works fine, but when compiling on Windows 7 with MinGW, the .exe produced now no longer runs. The console and ScummVM windows both open briefly, and immediately close. There is no console output if run from cmd.exe.
I have changed nothing about my setup, and it worked fine during release testing, so I can only assume something has changed on ScummVM's side. Anyone have any idea what the problem is? The daily builds still work, but those don't seem to have all engines enabled atm.
Compiled ScummVM no longer runs (MinGW)

I can't say that this happens on my system. I build the Win32 release builds on my Win7 amd64 and the build just worked fine.KuroShiro wrote:After testing things a bit, it seems the problem is that the 32bit version of ScummVM will no longer run properly on 64bit Windows 7 -- the w32 daily build does not work, but the w64 one does.
In principle there are two possible ways:KuroShiro wrote:So, does anyone know how to compile for 64bit OSes?
- Use MSVC
- Use MinGW64
