Very easy. A caveat-- I tried the same search and replace s/32/64/ in places on the druntime and phobos makefiles, but there was something more subtle going on--the generated libraries built fine but were still 32-bit objects inside the .a archives. Somehow I wasn't passing the right flags to generate 64-bit libraries. Is there a flag to tell dmd to compile to 64-bit objects? Thanks, Jason
