What people are interested in seeing a 64-bit windows build of PostGIS and willing to pay for it? We've heard a lot of people mention it, but unfortunately as Bborie said, we've run into some build issues with getting GEOS and GDAL to compile so its not trivial. A lot of the pieces we do have compiling under mingw-64.
I think the issues are not insurmountable, but will take a lot of our time and possibly time of other PostGIS devs to help us out which we'd have to fund. We were thinking of having a pledge drive similar to what Sandro had for topology to collect enough money to focus on the effort. Would people be interested in say putting up $100 each for that? If we get about 20-30 people willing to do that, I think we can jump over the mingw-64 hurdles and then later eventually have a VC++ native build. Perhaps even have some funds to package in pgrouting (for 32bit and 64-bit). We'd be willing to set aside time from our consulting work to work on it, if we could replace the lost consulting income. Would people be interested in it? As it stands I think mingw-64 is still the easiest since there are too many pieces of the PostGIS environment that assume a unix like toolchain. Once we have it working, we'd be willing to do the work of continually making the build available as we currently do with the 32-bit windows stack builder builds.
