A way to compile 64-bit apps on a 32-bit machine

DoubleDutch · Post by **DoubleDutch** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 5:05 pm

It would be good for people with no 64-bit machine to be able to compile (not test) 64-bit apps on a 32-bit machine.

Believe me, you really want to test it as well

It would be good for someone like Gnozal, I don't think he has access to a 64-bit machine - but a lot of people use his libs.

I'm sure he wouldn't run out of people who would test the libs for him.

Then they could also compile them for him, right?

No, no, the code is secret

But testing, without the code is useless. Better spend Gnozal a new OS

Fred, I do not agree. What if the creator of the program does not have any 64bit machine, even no way to run a VM machine, but has a lot of customers that are able to test it on a 64bit machine?

Please think about this again, Fred. I really need the ability to compile for x64 on my x86 machine.

if the creator has customers with a 64 bit os,
he has also money to buy a 64 bit-os hisself.
or his business model is crap

anyway, there are some OS from Microsoft with a 180 day evaluation.
Check them out for a trial, would be enough for compiling and testing.

I still think the ability to compile either the 32 or 64 bit versions from either the 64 or 32 bit editor would be a plus.

Rings, one word: Freeware

freeware and customers ?

English is not my native language, but my dictionary says that "costumer" does even work for freeware, because it means people who "use" a product.

testing <> debugging

How do you expect to solve the bugs your testers tell you about when all they can tell you is "it crashes" ?
You can't deliver a serious product without ever running it yourself, believe me.
