Dear all, Thanks again for the input and sorry for punctuating the spam equilibrium with my barrage of posts! I think with the recent posts, we are definitely narrowing down a list of high priority targets for the next round of development. We'd love to see 64-bit ChucK happen, but don't have a good idea of how soon we can get that done. We will investigate it in the next few weeks and come up with a plan of attack. Thanks again for the continued input on this. Earlier posts on 64- bit can be found here and probably a few other places: https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/pipermail/chuck-users/2007-April/ 001750.html Best, Ge!

Alas, the hack I was going to do will not work, and ChucK is out of the picture for me until the ChucK developers are able to make it 64-bit clean.
I was planning to build JACK in 64-bit and 32-bit versions and then build ChucK in 32-bit mode and link it against the 32-bit versions of the libraries, and thus have ChucK use 32-bit libraries to converse with the JACK server and all the other 64-bit softsynths and audio applications.
But I have been told by one of the JACK developers that this would not work anyway, because you can't have 32-bit and 64-bit apps conversing with the same JACK server. There are pointer-size fixes they could do to enable this, but not too many people clamoring for it, so it's low priority.
I'm told that it is possible to run ChucK on a 64-bit Linux system, by turning it into a 32-bit system: one would have to build an entire 32-bit chroot environment, including *all* audio apps, and run *all* the audio apps, and JACK itself, in 32-bit mode. I ain't going there.
Cool language, though. I'll revisit it a couple years from now, and see how it's progressed.
