Thank you for that clarification, Gunnar.

Probably this all makes sense with more perspective, but when I could 
not find the generator and generator example in the binary distrib of Qt 
Jambi 4.4.3_01, I read here
http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/changes/changes-4.4.0_01
that I had to use the source package of Jambi.

Also, in the page
http://doc.trolltech.com/qtjambi-4.4/html/com/trolltech/qt/qtjambi-installation.html#building-qt-for-qt-jambi
I read about using -D QT_JAMBI_BUILD -no-mmx -no-sse -no-sse2 -no-3dnow 
as compile options, and here:
http://doc.trolltech.com/qtjambi-4.4/html/com/trolltech/qt/qtjambi-installation.html#platform-notes
I read about using 32 bit JVM to compile Jambi on 64 bit Linux.

These instructions are also in the install.html file that comes with the 
Qt Jambi 4.4.3 source package.

So are you saying that all of the 32 bit stuff on 64 bit Linux is no 
longer necessary?

And is it necessary or not to build Jambi from source in order to use it 
for generating c++/java bindings?

Should I be able to just use the Qt and Jambi 64 bit binaries and be 
able to generate the bindings?

Thank you very much. Qt is great software and we have a wonderful 
application for it! I look forward to your reply.
