No, it's not possible currently. The Cygwin dll and all of the binaries in the distribution are 32-bit. >If not, then how is it possible to do? If you don't need the POSIX layer that Cygwin provides then google for mingw64. That is a native toolchain which produces 64-bit binaries. Otherwise, I'm afraid you're out of luck unless you can fund development of a 64-bit Cygwin. >And will be this cygwin installation work on another PC by simple folder >copy (and, for example, from win32 to win64)? Barring any running services, yes. If you are running a service like openssh then you need to reconfigure the other PC. But it's still 32-bit. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
