Can you give us an update please? What is the progress on TC 64 Bit?

Will it be TC 7.56 64 Bit Edition or TC 8?

At the moment development of the 64-bit version is interrupted in favour of the Android version because of some unresolvable problems with Lazarus. The developers are informed, so I hope that there will be fixes soon. The Android version is more or less done now, so I will soon resume work on the 64-bit version.

Thanks for the update. I thought Lazarus is an open source project whete everyone can contribute patches. Maybe you can help those guys a bit Wink

I tried to fix some of the problems, but the program is quite complex, so I couldn't solve everything...

maybe a vmware thinapp or sandbox release of total commander would be a solution for x64 ?

The advantage of Lazarus is that you can modify the sources easily. I don't know whether Delphi 64 bit will come with the VCL sources, but I made many changes already in the Delphi 2 VCL (e.g. to support Unicode windows). I will definitely try Delphi 64-bit when the final version gets released, but for now I'm happy with Lazarus.

So Borland is to blaim for not coming with x64 compilers, or that they release them so late. Shame on you, Borland! MS had x64 compilers years ago, and so did Intel.

Anyway, the reason I'm posting... Smile

Isn't this problem gonna re-surface when Windows 8 is released for ARM processors?

Because when I get my slim and energy-efficient ARM-based win8-notebook, I'd really like to have TC on it at the very least Wink

Not Borland but more the fact that x64 is not very needed as x32 was back then - the only advantage of x64-technology (wich exists since '99!...) is that u can use more ram (under windows...)

I guess the Lazarus guys will have a compiler ready when Windows 8 has been released or maybe they already have such a compiler ready.
