[Qt-interest] Qt opensource on windows 64

[Constantin Makshin]

IIRC, Visual Studio Express doesn't support development of 64-bit  
applications. You'll have to use the compiler from Windows SDK and  
stand-alone version of the debugger. Quite inconvenient...

Officially, MinGW doesn't have a 64-bit compiler, too. There's an  
unofficial 64-bit Windows version of GCC at  
http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net . You may try it.
