Lazarus on AMD64 (x86_64)
lazarus / 1-Linux

Hi,

Are there any plans to fix the issues that prevent Lazarus from
running on 64 bit machines ?

Currently there are some specific Integer(pointer) conversions that
make the compiler unhappy .. and some Class(IntergetType^) conversions
that actually break the compile.

(Specifically there's a message structure with an "lParam" property
that's cast as a pointer to generate a class pointer - this recurrs
fairly frequently...)

??

At the moment I'm "porting" Lazarus to AMD64. Lazarus compiles now,
however we found out that most X headers are translated wrong. This
may also be the case for other headers as well. As soon that is fixed,
I'll commit the changes.
