Ah, that does explain a lot - there are loads of names for "64-bits" platforms (AMD64, Intel 64, x86_64, x64, IA64 to name the ones I am aware of). Well, the machine has a sticker "Intel inside CORE i7" and I know my Windows OS is 64-bits. The MicroSoft compiler suite has confusing names too, referring to AMD64 for instance. > There is some additional information I need as well if it is straightforward > for you to > figure it out. > > * Version of the underlying Windows OS (e.g., Windows Vista, Windows 7, or > Windows 8) for all three of your platforms (Cygwin, MinGW, and MSVC). > Here it is: Windows 7, 64-bits, service pack 1 (well, actually Windows version 6.1, Windows mode 7 SP1, but that usually referred to as Windows 7) I use the same Windows version for all my testing. > * Whether that OS is a 32-bit version or a 64-bit version. > 64 bits > * Whether Cygwin is the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version > 64 bits > * gcc version for your Cygwin platform.

The MinGW installation is 32-bits. Regards, Arjen DISCLAIMER: This message is intended exclusively for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
