I would like to ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ if that's true there's no way. you need your compiler to know about 64 bit, and more important your kernel must be 64 bit. anyways, i have no idea about apples, but recently installed an amd64 with suse64bit. 32 bit applications seem to be only 10% slower than 64bit. i think the advantage of 64 bit is for adress-space and precision in iterative calculations. i doubt that the x-server really will benefit from it. imho, the only reason to have a 64 bit server is if you really have a 64 bit kernel /and/ want to youse dri (or other kernel-located drivers) > build 64 bit XFree86 from the latest source (4.4). I have a 64 bit toolchain. But I have > only 32 bit xlibs and other dependent libraries. xlibs should be compiled as part of the x-distribution. you problme seems to be mor that your whole system is not 64 bit aware. could well be a problem with apple, as their ppc64 OS-X is actually only a 32bit OS. > > Is there any way to build 64 bit XFree86 for my system.
