Re: [GNC] I did not know this (was: Windows x64 release builds are missing)

2024-01-19 Thread Derek Atkins
One thing to consider is the ability to run a 64-bit Win-11 build server,
or, rather, HOW we will create a 64-bit windows build server.

[GNC] I did not know this (was: Windows x64 release builds are missing)

However, I think there were later, technically 64-bit processors that 
did not include a few required 64-bit instructions (eg, "Compare and 
Swap"), so that Win-64 would not install on them.


I think the original Intel & Lenovo "compute sticks" fell into that 
category, circa 2015?


A trip down memory lane.

Regardless of Win11's ability to run 32-bit programs, it requires a 64-bit 
processor (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications) 
so when Win10 goes out of support so does the need for 32-bit GnuCash  builds.
We're scheduled to release GnuCash 6 in January 2026 so that seems like the 
right time to make the switch.
