64-bit Shared Library / 32-bit App

[Ty Roberts]

We are trying to implement a new process with our ERP system that needs to run some Shared Library calls. The problem is the shared library only comes complied in 64-bit and our ERP is a 32-bit application. Does anyone know a way to get these two to "mesh"?? Is there a way to write some sort of "wrapper" for the Shared Library?? Or are we up the creek in terms of using this SL???

Thanks,
Ty

My guess would be that you are pretty much up a creek. I seriously doubt that you would be able to get the 64-bit library to work with a 32-bit app.

If does not sound like a good recipe for success.

won't mix. period.

you could try pipes, or message queues

That dog won't hunt. The only way to make this work is to fork/exec a 64-bit child process and establish two-way communication between it and the 32-bit parent process.

When you talk about using pipes, or more specifically Memory Queues, how do you suppose we use those to provide the communication channel?? Can you elaborate???

Thanks,

I am sorry, I meant Message Queues not Memory Queues...
