Compiling Tesseract OCR on 64 bit Windows

Question

I'm trying to compile Tesseract OCR into a Windows 64 bit version of the library. I've downloaded the source and got it compiling to a 32 bit version using Visual Studio Express C++ 2010, but as I'm not usually a C++ programmer, I'm at a loss as to how I move over to compiling a 64 bit version.

Any help would be really appreciated.

The reason I need a 64 bit version is that I'm using it as part of a Java project that requires a 64-bit JVM. The 32 bit version of Tesseract clearly won't work in the 64 bit JVM, but there doesn't seem to be an official 64 bit Windows build.

The relevant 64-bit DLLs are provided by Tesseract .NET wrapper project. You may want to check out its solution/project configuration to see how the DLLs are compiled.
