What do I need to do to run spatialite in a webrole on Azure?

I've been looking into using spatialite on Azure. The precompiled binaries at SpatiaLite 2.3.1 are all for x86 and trying to include libspatialite-1.dll of course won't work since Azure requires x64.

Am I just missing something simp开发者_如何学Gole, or do I need to try to compile the binaries into a x64 dll? Is that a path I should go down?

Any guidance or link to a tutorial to get SpatiaLite running in Azure would be greatly appreciated.

From my understanding of Azure, you will need to recompile the SpatiaLite assemblies into a x64/AnyCPU dll. Also if the SpatiaLite assemblies make reference to any x32 assemblies, these too will need to be recompiled in order to get it working in Azure.

There are alternatives to recompiling your assemblies, but its quite complex.
