Building 64-bit applications

If you are developing your application for Linux or one of the MSVC9 environments, you can have Rational® Rhapsody® build the application to run on a 64-bit system.

Procedure

  1. For the MSVC9 environments, a number of properties and batch files refer to the $CPU variable which represents the value of the CPU property for the environment, for example, CPP_CG::MSVC9::CPU. Change the value of the CPU property to x64. (This is not necessary for Linux targets.)
  2. Rebuild the framework by selecting Code > Build Framework from the main menu. For MSVC9 environments, the Build Framework option takes into account the value of the CPU property. For Linux, if you are running IBM® Rational Rhapsody on a 64-bit system, the Build Framework option builds the libraries for 64-bit systems.
