Newbie Question -> Is there any roadmap for 64 Bits QT distribution for Windows

[esales]

Hi,

I'm deciding which IDE to use for C++ and I've liked QT. I installed the last version available and noted that I can't use MySql 64 Bits with QT because it is for 32 bits. As I use Windows 7 64 Bits and I don't know how to compile it to a 64 bits and as I don't have any Visual Studio installed to make the 64 bits version, I'm asking: Is there any chance to have this version in a short time?

If yes, I think it worth to wait for...

Thank you.

You can use 32bit programs on 64bit Windows.

Yeap, I know it, but I want to develop 64 bits application on 64 bits Windows. Anyway thank you for the replay.

Both MySql and Qt can be built as 64-bit on Windows and the necessary supported Microsoft compiler is available as part of the Windows SDK 7/7.1 (not 8) or the Visual Studio Express 2012 version (free, as in no dollars). Why wait when you can roll your own?

If you are feeling adventurous you may even be able to build it with a 64-bit MingW; but that is not supported.
