I wanted to mention that Lazarus comes with a 64bit FPC 2.6.2 from binaries...
Guys, Graeme is well meaning here. I agree that most of us first go to x64 downloads for binaries. Thinking 32 to 64 or reverse is onerous on typical end users. I need 64bit FPC binaries too. Presently I install the Lazarus to get 64bit FPC, then checkout svn FPC/trunk and Lazarus/trunk. I do this every time because of the fact that there is no 64bit FPC. Others do this too. You are looking at this too much from the internals. This is a case where the Customer is right I can assure you. But the solution must conform to FPC standards with regards to builds/packaging. Thanks for any help in offering a 64bit download of FPC.
