PureBasic Forums - English

I personally think it would be nice to include both the x86 and the x64 compiler into a single installer. I am unsure if the IDE and Form Designer is compiled with 64-bit support specifically for 64-bit operating systems. Tho if both the IDE and the Form Designer are solely 32-bit applications. Wouldn't it be easier to simplify the PureBasic package by putting both compilers into the same installer?
And changing the the IDE compiler options to.
That way you don't have to have two separate PureBasic installations to retain both architecture support. Tho if there is a 64-bit flavor of the IDE and the Form Designer, I can see why that may be an issue.

You'll also need to duplicate the libraries folder.

PureLibraries\x86\
PureLibraries\x64\

Residents\x86\
Residents\x64\

SubSystems\x86\
SubSystems\x64\

But why do it?

Hi opcode,

just as side note: You can integrate the x64 compiler into the x86 PureBasic and vice versa by using the options menu and the entry compiler. Here you can add or remove several compilers within your actual used (for example x64) PureBasic. But of course you have to have both x86 and x64 versions installed, as far as I know.

But if you use the options' feature, you can select the preferred compiler almost 'on-the-fly' when creating your executable.

Just wanted to point that out, but it is not a all-in-one-solution for your request.

Harry.

Earlier I thought it a good idea as well, to have the x86 and x64 versions installed at once. Lately, I've changed my mind. I might have some older versions floating around as well for compatibility issues, and having multiple installations next to each other is simply ridiculous easy with PureBasic
