While the progress I've made [in 1 weekend ;-)] is impressive, I imagine a full port to Win64 will be long (assembly language development for the Win64 UNO bridge, code audit for long <-> pointer conversions which work on *nix64 but not on Win64), and you best get a 32 bit Windows if you plan to build the stable 32 bit AOO in the meanwhile. Please prepare yourselves.
Can you do the 64-bit work in a branch, so that the trunk goes on being buildable until we can switch to 64-bit?
Alternatively, it should be possible to explicitly support compiling 32 bit AOO binaries on Win64 with additional work (it essentially comes down to the CPU and CPUNAME environment variables, and maybe some hacks to set_soenv.in's COMPATH, ILIB and PATH); the changes involved should be modest. But how much does this matter to people, and who is willing to help implement it?
Once the 64-bit version works, I will have very little interest in the 32-bit version.
I will take a break from AOO from the time the current 32-bit building stops working until the 64-bit version works, so I would like to see that time kept as short as possible.
