Offering build platform.

WTF is your problem?

Replying only feeds into it.

But I think he might be implying that something you said is wrong or just noobish. (probably your last comment about replacing the engine, that's just a guess though)

...swapping the engine...

shut up

It's been discussed lots, go search.

Ive seen some of the threads about the OpenArena and a couple others floating around on source forge.
But JIT and AOT are just compilers not the engine.
I also seen a thread about a python based server, If the client was also migrated then there wont be much hassle at all as you would just install the 64bit windows binary of python and go about life.

Ok so I did some more reading and still havent found a reason for JIT not to work
But in the meantime i can still build a 32bit version with SSE3 SSE4a and NX Bit.

http://releases.mercenariesguild.net/client/  <--  has a 64bit build.

Hi, I noticed there was very little mention of x64 builds for winblows.

[David]

oh yeah, /me is blind.  There are too many threads about 64 bit >_>.

[bacon665]

But this should just show that its possible to Build for windows 64.
Unix linux and other Posix systems are rather easy to adapt.
./configure takes care of all that.

[gimhael]

Only there is no ./configure in tremulous.

[bacon665]

Thats because it uses the MinGW tool chain.
If it wasnt a pain in the ass to set up.....

Thats all thats in the build script

theres no reason for you to start the shutup shit.
the build chain for x64 is here:http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=202880&package_id=311650
should just have to set it up and change that to

and is this patch for smp even needed when you change to i786 or higher since theyre both smt/smp enabled anyway?
