I can understand it is a naive question but I have searched enough and was wondering if it is at all possible to run libraw on a visual studio project with platform and target machine set to x64. Everything works fine when platform and target machine are x64, but it complains of unresolved externals whenever they 're set to x64. I wanted to integrate it into a large project which has been aimed for 64 bits so far anyway. Thank you in advance.

We use LibRaw in 64-bit
We use LibRaw in 64-bit windows projects (Visual Studio 2010 and 2013) without any problem.
Could you please describe the problem in more details?

64 bit build
Thank you for your response. So when machine module type and target is set to x86, everything works fine. When I convert both to x64 From Release Target in Configuration Manager and Linker -> Advanced -> Target Machine, I get the following output:

What do you think is the problem?
unresolved symbols mean you
unresolved symbols mean you cannot link with correct .dll (or lib).
Are you sure you've rebuilt libraw.dll with 64 bit?

Libraw build
I used vcvars32.bat initially to build the correct libraw.dll but then figured i should use vcvarsall.bat for 64 bit build, though there was no difference. If that's not the correct way, how do you rebuild it with 64bit? Thanks a lot again
vcvars32 surely will set x32
vcvars32 surely will set x32 environment.
To rebuild 64-bit libraw.dll I succesfully use this:

It Worked.
Thank you Alex. It Worked. I am very very grateful. All the best.
And vcvarsall without x64
And vcvarsall without x64 will create x86 environment, just first lines from this .bat:

64 bit version crashes
I appreciate your help in creating a 64 bit version of LibRaw for Windows. I can interface with this library version from a 64 bit Java VM using BridJ, but if I try to call the init() method of LibRaw when compiled as a 64 bit dll it crashes. I get EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION (0xc000001d) at pc=0x00007ffdd79069ac, pid=6876, tid=6592. Any clue on what I can do?
LibRaw (C++ API) do not have
LibRaw (C++ API) do not have init() method. So, I do not know what you call.

Creating dymamic library on Linux
I've managed creating dynamically loaded libraries of LibRaw for Mac, Win32 and Win64 now. The only thing that remains are dynamic libraries for Linux32 and Linux64. I would very much appreciate your help with this. When running the make file I end up with .a, .la and .lib files only.
yes, you need to change
yes, you need to change makefile, or use ./configure stuff.

It's a huge makefile, any tip

./configure should work, meanwhile.
