Build it yourself, there currently aren't any official 64-bit binaries because there is no 64-bit machine in the build farm. If someone would either donate a 64-bit machine or figure out how to host a 64- bit build on a 32-bit machine, then we could add official 64-bit builds. > 2) If I compile it myself, will there be some externals that may not > work?
