There is no specific build for 64-bit on either Windows or Linux.
On Windows, Visual Studio should install a set of command prompts for
building in various environments. Use the appropriate one, and then use
the normal "nmake w2k" command.
On Linux, if you build on a 64-bit system, the resulting binary should be
64-bit. At least, when I build on Ubuntu, binaries built on a 32-bit
system run on a 64-bit system; but binaries built on a 64-bit system do
not run on a 32-bit system.

1. Could you please say the nmake command option which is used to build 64
bit c-client library for Windows-XP64 ?
2. Could you please say me the same for Linux build as well.
I tried a lot, but couldn't get a way to build 64 bit library from command
line, so most of the documents on internet are focussed towards building
components from VC IDE.

Modern versions of c-client should build and run on 64-bit. I do so all
the time.
However, file sizes remain limited to 2GB; and basic numeric types (defined
by IMAP) remain 32-bit. Because IMAP is 32-bit, and the mix format makes it
possible for a mailbox to be more than 2GB without needing godzilla files,
this isn't going to change.
The only reason to build c-client in 64-bit is if you use it as part of
some application that needs a 64-bit build. Otherwise, you might as well
just use 32-bit binaries since (from the c-client viewpoint) nothing
particular is gained from building in 64-bit.

Hi Imap folks,
I am presently in the process of migrating my application which uses
c-client.a (IMAP c-client library) to a 64 bit support for WindowsXP 64
platform (usingVC7.1 compiler)
As a part of it, could you please help me out if the latest IMAP-UW
toolkit
supports 64 bit. If yes, could you please let me know if I need to include
any IMAP specific compile time macros to get a compete 64 bit supported
c-client library.
And could you also let me know if 64 bit support available for IMAP on
Debian Linux platform as well.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Please do let me know your thoughts on this & do let me know if you feel
that I am missing anything on this regards.
Regards,
Sathya
