Hello again.

After beating my head against many walls, Mixxx Windows x64 (built with
MSVC) finally lives! AMD64-optimized test package available here:
http://mixxx.org/packages/windows/mixxx1.7branch-AMD64.exe

(Yes, it really is 64-bit this time.)

Problems noticed so far: MIDI doesn't work at all. I'm guessing it has
to do with DWORD size or something else that's different in the x64 MIDI
API since Mixxx simply reports "Error opening midi device" in its log
but correctly lists the available devices. So if a Windows programmer
could take a look at that, that'd be fantastic.

Everything needed to build the x64 version has been committed to the 1.7
branch (again because trunk is too old.) And yes, the 32-bit version
still builds fine from scratch. If you want to try building the x64
version, you will either need a 64-bit version of Python or to manually
change the SConstruct to platform = 'win64' until someone hacks in a
command line option.

Build instructions are on the Wiki:
http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/compiling_on_windows#build_a_64-bit_version_using_microsoft_visual_studio_express

Let me know what you think. (About the build, not my sanity for doing
it. :) )

Sincerely,
Sean M. Pappalardo
