Hello,

Are you planning to provide official x64 builds for Windows at any point?

For context, I am working on Python bindings for libdjvulibre. This mostly works as expected on Unix, where both libdjvulibre and Python are 64-bit, however on Windows the more reliable option I currently see is to distribute a customized build of the library.

    Wilk's bindings have the same problem - the native extensions for 64-bit Python cannot be linked with the 32-bit libdjvulibre (some hacks can possibly help, but still). Furthermore, the project is abandoned and the maintained fork dropped Windows support entirely.

    I wanted to contribute some improvements to the aforementioned fork, but the GPL-2.0-only license prompted me to start from scratch since I wanted to use the bindings in a GPL-3.0 project.
