64-bit C Compiler (Windows)

Post by 01000101 »

Hi, I've been googling around quite a bit and have come to the realization that there are no good 64-bit C Compilers for Windows XP. I use GCC through DJGPP and found that it only supports the 32-bit compilers, as does CYGWIN and MinGW environments. Is there a way for me to compile C code with 64-bit support on windows? if not, do you think it would work for me to install a virtual linux (say 64-bit Ubuntu) and then compile there? also, does it matter if I'm running 32-bit Windows or not?

I'm new to 64-bit programming btw, just got my bootloader to enable long mode.

...setup a 64bit GCC cross compiler? You can do that on a 32bit host.. :roll:
