Hi Fabian,

I just got my new workstation and it is an AMD64 machine with windows64 installed.

I also got myself both the microsoft 64 bits compiler as we’ll as the intel 64 bits compiler. With the particular goal of course to port MonetDB.

I am not promising any timeframe but if we don't have a native windows64 port in the next couple of months I would be very surprised if not disappointed.

Just a small note. I don't have any windows building experiences, but we currently don't have access to such box running that operating system. As far as I can tell, there is no real priority to do so either. There are build instructions for windows, but it is unknown how 64-bits are enabled and if this will compile and run. This seems an unexplored area to me.

Regards, Fabian

Has anyone out there taken the time to build an MSI for the AMD64 versions of Windows? The x64 version of Windows was released a few months ago and was available in Beta for a while, so I'm hoping someone has either done this already, or can provide some advice on how to build/compile for this platform. Anyone know of future plans to make this one of the standard platform builds? Windows x64 is only going to grow in popularity from here, especially amongst researchers and others who can benefit from 64 bits.

Thanks for any info, Ray Cardillo
