I don't think mingw-64 is yet up to snuff for the task. I've been
working with the most recent mingw binaries and with a lot of
handholding I can get it to build a libffi DLL, but it won't load.
python ctypes has a win64 "port", but it's hand-coded and uses the
microsoft tools to compile and link.
I'm working on a functional version for JNA (http://jna.dev.java.net)
and will post patches to this list when I'm done, but it may end up
being based on builds with MSVC (the free version) if I can't get
mingw to work properly.
Anyone interested in testing, send me a note off-list and I can feed
you binaries as they become available.

Hi,
We're looking into migrating GNUstep to Win64 using x86_64-pc-mingw32,
but we're missing a port for this library. Does anyone know of a
port or
is anyone working on a port?
Thanks,
Jan-Willem
