Dec 22, 10 at 03:02Hi, it’s very simple to build a 64bit version of Blender. Install a 64bit version of Python 2.6, for instance to C:\Python26_64b. Then from the very short howto change following steps:
step 2: svn co https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/win64 c:\dev\lib\win64
step 3: start Visual Studio 2008 x64 win64 command prompt
step 4: set PATH=C:\Python26_64b;%PATH%
and
step 6: python scons\scons.py WITH_BF_JACK=False WITH_BF_QUICKTIME=False WITH_BF_SNDFILE=False

Dec 24, 10 at 18:14Thanks, but it doesnt work for me, im on windows7 ultimate 64 but i have installed visual studio 2008 express and have not support for 64 bit, there is a way to hack that but seems too complicated.
Thanks anyway
