No. As building is not the main work, but creating, maintaining and testing the installer scripts is. For win32 hosts we have: - win32 - wince - win64 - android - jvm - msdos > So reallocate the man power for creating the win64 > cross-compiler, and let them rather spend the time on creating a native > 64-bit Windows compiler and > installer.

No idea, I do not care. I still need win32, so I take care of those. As win64 installers would double my work without any benefit for me, I do not create them. But as said, fpc is a community project, if somebody cares, he is welcome to make scripts for win64 inno installers and take care of the releases. > Hell, even mobile > phones have moved to 64-bit only targets. > > > On a side note: > If you don't have something for automating tasks, take a look at the open > source Jenkins project - I do, sometimes, http://build.alb42.de:8080/ > it's awesome.
