As the lead developer for Sword++ I can say that you are correct, that Sword++ now strictly requires external CLucene and zlib headers/libraries. The unmaintained zlib code bundled in the source was removed. The rest of your post was really too verbose so please forgive me if I misunderstood what you wanted to communicate. I'm assuming this is related to one of your previous posts about the compiler/IDE giving you hundreds of warnings about incompatible data types and such (note that these warnings/errors are valid regardless of 32/64-bit, although in (x86/x86-64) practice the errors rarely occur). If this is the case, then yes, we strive to fix these errors/warnings. But this is a non-trivial task, because the overall situation with those is terrible, and the rabbit-hole path to fix these runs very deep even for the brave. I've attempted to properly fix (and not just silence) some of those, but it has required changes in many many places in the code, including design changes. I suspect that fixing all of these in Sword++ would take at minimum 3-4 man-months, full-time.
