Hi Eli,<div><br></div><div>Here is my Windows 64 bits patch. It is quite crude and only attempts to make it possible to compile</div><div>a 64bits emacs with the MS Sdk.</div><div>I have sent the paperwork to the FSF last week, so this patch could be reviewed and maybe integrated soon.</div>

<div>It is against emacs-24, current trunk.</div><div>Not everything is taken cared of: the heap allocation scheme should probably be reworked. Anyway,</div><div>I was able to run an emacs and make it allocate everything available on my Windows 64 machine </div>

<div>(4Gb of Ram + around 10Gb of swap). It just did it without crashing.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Fabrice</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/2/19 Eli Zaretskii <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:eliz@gnu.org">eliz@gnu.org</a>&gt;</span><br>

&gt; I would love to start to contribute to the GNU community and I thought<br>
&gt; that porting Emacs 23 to Windows 64, could be a good useful entry.<br>
<br>
Thanks, it will.<br>
<br>
&gt; However, I have no idea on how to, or where, start.<br>
<br>
Start with bug #9960, where some of this was discussed.  Maybe Fabrice<br>
could post the patches he has till now.<br>
