[Bf-committers] AMD64 bit support issues

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Hrms, this is not what I talked about. Note that Blender was 64 bits  
compliant between 98 and 2001, succesfully using the LP64 convention.
That way you also benefit work done already (like in file reading and  
DNA). Only newer parts of code need to be checked.

I'd appreciate if you would first mail the list what you exactly want  
to do?

No idea what you try... the 64 bits versions we did in past didn't need  
much tweaks in .h or makefiles...

This is definitely for after 2.40 is out!
