Windows|64-bit: Build on MSVC 2015, 64-bit Qt 5.6; cleanup of external libs

EAX2 is not available in 64 bits, so the DirectSound plugin is
compiled without any EAX2 features when doing a 64 bit build.

LZSS is now compiled from source on all platforms.

Updated zlib to 1.2.8 on Windows, with prebuilt binaries included in
the repository (x86 and x64).

Fixed a couple of warnings about converting 64-bit values to 32-bit.

#3 Updated by skyjake over 11 years ago

64-bit builds on Windows is definitely in the plans. However, currently we're being held back by an issue in Qt 4.8 that affects smoothness of Doomsday's display refresh on Windows. AFAIK, the version of Qt that we're using (4.7) supports only MSVS 2008 and thus 64-bit builds are not possible.

(DaniJ is the primary Windows developer on the team.)

#4 Updated by roman313 over 11 years ago

It is possible to compile QT 4.8 to 64-bit,
and possible to recompile doomsday engine to 64-bit.
You can download VS2010 Express for free.

This is definitely in progress, however no one has had the time to actually try to collect 64-bit versions of all the dependencies and set up a builder for 64-bit Windows.
