Here is what I have now:

H:\ptcpas-code-715-trunk>make CPU_TARGET=x86_64 OS_TARGET=win64 
J:/Programming/FPC/3.0.2/bin/i386-Win32/ppcrossx64.exe -Twin64 -Px86_64

It seems like it can't find my units but it specifies -FUunits/x86_64-win64   
maybe I need to give it the full path to my units for 64bit?

I will be happy to be patient 😊  Thank you for all your hard work on this!

Not yet. I'm still working on it. I ended up revamping all the keyboard input 
support in ptcpas, because I discovered there are some differences between 
linux and windows in the keycodes for some keys. Since, these are OEM-specific 
keys, so they differ between keyboard layouts, I tried different keyboard 
layouts and I discovered that dead keys don't work. 
So, I started digging in order to find out why that's the case. So, after a lot 
of changes, I got them working under both windows and linux. 
After that, I figured out it's time to prepare a new ptcpas release, because 
there are many other changes, since the last release and I want to get it in 
time for the new release to be included into fpc 3.0.4. So, suddenly, I'm 
working on a whole lot more things on ptcpas (relative mouse movement, better 
unicode support for the keyboard input under both windows and linux, merging 
several other fixes into upstream fpc libraries, for which ptcpas carries a 
forked version) :) But, please be patient, it'll get there, maybe in a few 
week's time. If you're impatient, you can temporarily patch ptcgraph/ptccrt.pp, 
lines 120..309. 
These convert the ptcpas key events to crt readkey codes.

Unfortunately, all of the missing keys and differences from ptccrt (including 
the very odd ones) stem from the fact that ptccrt behaves _exactly_ like the 
crt unit in Turbo Pascal 7 under DOS, with a 100% IBM compatible keyboard and 
BIOS. This includes the lack of support for extended keys (like F11 and F12). 
The Windows crt unit doesn't conform strictly to that, however, so that's why 
there are differences. I don't want to sacrifice the DOS/TP7 crt unit 
compatibility, so I'll have to think of something, but it'll take a little 
time. Perhaps I'll add different keyboard compatibility "modes" or something 
like that.
