I'm building Linux 64bit non-standalone viewers since 2 1/2 years now, in gerneral once all libraries where in place there has been most of the time no extra work - its just a Linux version with different libraries. Looking at the download couter, a bit more than half of all Imprudence Linux users are using the 64bit version). The patch I'm using for autobuild is trivial https://bitbucket.org/ArminW/autobuild-kokua/changeset/d653428ae98e - to build 64bit export AUTOBUILD_PLATFORM_OVERRIDE=linux64 ("linux64" is inherited from viewer 1 time, there have been some package references in the install.xml file). Adding a linux64 project to the viewer isn't that much of a difference, see for example Boroondas draft repository: https://bitbucket.org/boroondas/viewer-development-linux64-draft . I added also a linux64 project to many of the 3p libslibrary, though not yet all of them, see https://bitbucket.org/ArminW . Probably some bits and pieces would need changing if someone wants to prepare versions for LL use, but for sure for that purpose they can already save a lot of time in the way they are now. If someone or a team wants to take the job of getting them through the codereview process I'm glad to contribute my work as is.
