From: Cygwin-L On Behalf Of Warren Young
I would say that the vast majority of the packages in the Cygwin
distribution could not reasonably make use of 64-bit data spaces.
However, one of your arguments in this thread cuts both ways: the fact
that there are a few packages that reasonably can do so means you cannot
say "we don't need it".
If someone wants a 64-bit version of a packages in the distribution, then how
about they build a 64-bit version of the package and report the results? That
would give the distribution maintainers actual data about the costs and
benefits.
Could you please stop this discussion ?
Until we work and deploy a 64bit cygwin1.dll the idea to build
any 64 bit cygwin program is pure academic and not very useful.
If you want to propose patches for 64 bit cygwin
cygwin-developers is the right mailing list.
