x64 Platform build configuration (missing)

Windows
1

Every time i update Juce i have to add the “x64”-Platform, and set up the jucelib_static_x64.lib/jucelib_static_x64_debug.lib Ouput-File.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there are existing by default:

PS: i think the Preprocessor definition has to be “Win64” instead of Win32?

Yes, it needs to be added to the introjucer - I’ll do it eventually!

Does anyone know if 64-bit is possible in Visual c++ Express 2010 or 2008…? I just tried modifying a project to use 64-bit, but couldn’t figure it out, which is odd because I’m sure I’ve done it before… (?)

(I might just be being slow-witted)

Not sure about VS 2010, but Express 2008 not by default (its a little bit complicated, there is a somewhere a thread about this in this forum)

Its possible with Standard Edition and better, open the solution manager, “Active Solution Platform” -> new -> select “x64”
