64-bit build?

[Pocomo]

Hi Aaron -

I searched the forums briefly but could not find any posts on this issue. Have you considered publishing a 64-bit build of BC3? We do some fairly large folder compares would like to go further than the current ~ 2M file limit, but we run out of 32-bit virtual memory space long before we run out of physical ram.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

We want to, but it isn't possible right now. The Linux compiler and widget set we're using are old and can't produce 64-bit executables. Switching will be a fairly involved task, and the OS X port has priority. Once that's done we'll work on upgrading the Linux tools.

Thanks Craig. You didn't mention Windows - same story there?

BTW, great, great product - and I'm only using about 1/4 of its features!

Best Regards,
Mike

It's related, with slightly different issues/solutions. 64bit versions of BC3 (in Win or Linux) is definitely something that is on our radar.
