I was unable to compile a x64 version of flinux and it seems like it is not implemented. For example, https://github.com/wishstudio/flinux/tree/7874a4ff9ba2fec4ad1c67b857c563288d5aa93e/src/dbt, does not have an x64 version and the assembly for x86_trampoline does not compile under visual c++ x64. This is the main motivation for working on the native x64 version of PicoLisp using midipix as the linux syscall interop layer. Thanks for the mention Rick! The x64 version is still in a draft status, most of the changes are here: https://github.com/joebo/picoLisp-win-x86-64/blob/master/src64/arch/win-x86-64.l, to support the different ABI calling convention. It relies on midipix which is still in alpha and hasn't yet been released which is why I haven't actively promoted it. There's a few workarounds still in the code too, for example dlopen isn't yet implemented in midipix so ht ext: code needs to be compiled into the picolisp binary, https://github.com/joebo/picoLisp-win-x86-64/blob/master/src64/Makefile#L129 The current x64 windows binary release can be found under Releases in the github repo linked above, https://github.com/joebo/picoLisp-win-x86-64/releases There is some info about this > (https://github.com/wishstudio/flinux/issues/63), but I could not really > find a solution.
