Hi
It is not difficult to compile a 64bit windows version, since most of
the dependencies are available from gisinternals(
http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ ).
The difficulty is more in the detail:
- GRASS : I don't have experience with compilation for 64bit
- Formats like sid, ecw
- Interlis support (important here in Switzerland)
Therefore I think it would be best if osgeo4w could have a 64bit version.
Regards,
Marco

Hi Andreas,
thanks for the move. We would definitely be interested in a Win64 bit
version sometime next year.

Hi all,
Wouldn't it be good to offer 64bit Windows versions from QGIS version
2.0 on? Most new and many existing Windows PCs are 64bit Windows these
days.
I don't expect someone to work for free on it, but if an estimate could
be done how many hours of work it would mean to put together a 64bit
OSGeo4W and standalone viewer, we could start collecting money to make
it happen. There should be enough Windows users out there with a strong
interest in the 64bit version.
Question: is this more a one-time investment or would it mean a lot of
work further on, maintaining the two versions, 32bit and 64bit?
Other opinions?
