I assume that this is a Cygwin question. Please direct Cygwin questions to the cygwin mailing list, so that other people can participate in and benefit from the conversation. AFAIK, Cygwin is as of now a purely 32-bit environment. Until there's a 64- bit DLL to link against, I don't think a 64-bit stunnel would be possible or useful. I also don't have a 64-bit Windows machine on which to build or test one. Cross-compiling might be possible, but honestly this would be far down my list of priorities. Once Cygwin becomes a 64-bit environment, then it probably won't be hard to release a 64-bit version of stunnel. But I haven't seen any discussion of that happening, and I guess that it's still a ways off. If you don't want to wait for Cygwin, you can probably build your own 64-bit stunnel by following the instructions at http://www.stunnel.org/faq/install.html#ToC3 . Good luck, Andrew. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
