[sword-devel] How do you make the Sword framework work in 64bit mode? (My compiler is giving me hundreds of warnings.)

So, long or long int, for example, is a 64-bit quantity, but for Windows it remains a 32-bit quantity even > when run in the 64-bit runtime.

Libsword is developed on Linux, not on Windows. It is 64 bit since quite some time (i.e. years). I am compiling on Debian testing in 64 bit mode with no warnings, using the standard flags. I think I have confirmed that all files my compilation produces are 64 bit by running "file *.o" over all compilates. The output is 

<..>                 ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
