Re: [Wrapper-user] I've compiled the JSW 64 bit Windows binaries without Visual Studio

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Daniel,
    I placed an order for a 64-bit system last week so I can finally get 
these 64-bit versions
built myself.  I am hoping to get a new release out by the end of year.

    Any notes that you could give me on how you got this working would 
save me some
time once I get the new system.

    There are a couple other users working on getting this working as 
well so everyone
would appreciate what you learned.

Thanks,
Leif
