But that file only refers to the MinGW project, which AFAIK does not (yet?) provides support for 64-bit executables. BTW, I also wouldn't mind to build & upload a 64-bit binary package for MS-Windows, but so far, I've not found a "suitable" way of doing it. I tried MSYS2. It comes with a pretty convenient package manager (pacman) and a good catalog of packages. So I easily managed to make a suitable build environment and then a 64-bit Emacs with support for Images, GnuTLS, XML, etc. But I found a problem: the GCC that comes with MSYS2 (from the MinGW-w64 project) is configured for posix threads (instead of native w32 threads). Therefore, the runtime environment for that Emacs would have this requirements: 1. "libwinpthread-1.dll" should be on PATH. 2. The runtime libraries used by Emacs should be configured for posix threads too. So, I'd prefer to make a "w32-threads" build, to get rid of that extra dependency. But I still haven't found a convenient way of doing that. (I must admit that this is not among my current priorities, though) -- Dani Moncayo
