are you plan to implement 64-bit windows GHC version?
Why do you need mingw? What's wrong with MSVC++?
really! Simon, how about unregisterised build?
skaller, is *free* 64-bit msvc (or any other windows c++ compiler) available?
Visual Studio Express is a Visual Studio 2005 IDE system for XP with some features disabled, the disabled features include interactive debugging, help, online news/blog stuff, etc: advanced IDE features. AFAIK the compilers are intact and can be used on the command line as well as from the IDE. I think you do need to download the platform SDK separately though. AFAIK on x86_64 platform, VS is a 32 bit program, as are the compilers, but they can generate 64 bit code (the 32 and 64 bit compilers are separate executables and run in distinct environments .. ) One thing to watch though: embedded assembler is gone in new MSVC++ compilers (due to multi-arch support I guess). However assembler works in 64 bit, Ocaml 64 bit for Windows uses it. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net
