This summer Maarten Lankhorst did some basic work on win64 support but for the rest no work has been done it for a long time. I'm not sure what Maarten exactly did but but there is a lot of work to be done before it will run even a basic app.
I think we still have the problem that gcc doesn't support the calling convention Win64 uses, so we can't compile a Wine that is compatible with Win64 apps.
That may be fixed in gcc already though. I haven't checked since some time.
This will be in gcc 4.4.
From my LinuxTag trip report this year:
- Kai Tietz of mingw64 told me that they have a GCC patch ready for gcc 4.4 which will support the Win64 calling convention attribute just like __attribute__(stdcall).
Was committed to GCC TRUNK: http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=rev&sortby=date&revision=136311 __attribute__(ms_abi)
If we have more GCC requirements for Win64, he is willing to help.
In general he would like to have Wine as a testbed for mingw64 development (and we could use it as testbed the other way round).
This was committed to GCC TRUNK (what will be 4.4) on 2008-07-06.
