No wait. I'm on 64-bit Linux. I'm not thinking straight. Let me get home
and I'll check to be absolutely sure....
This is one aspect where it is important to know what operating
systems it is intended to implement for. Older operating systems were
32 bit. Newer ones 64 bit. Do you produce two versions for each
platform, or do you say "we are not going to support 32 bit operating
systems".
Extremely good question. I'm guessing we have to
cater to 64 bit systems, do we need to support
32 bit? Haven't the world moved on long ago?
I'm thinking we make a 64-bit and 32-bit version,
and bundle them together in the same
installer. Let NSIS figure out which version to
install. The reason is that this doesn't just
depend on processor word size, but what version
of Windows one has installed. Some people have
an x64 processor but an i386 version of Windows (I did, for example).
For Mac, this is an easy question. x64, no ifs, ands, or buts.
