[Gdal-dev] moving fwtools/gdal programs from a 32 bit windows server to a 64 bit windows server

[John Mitchell]

Hi,

Since I always (until now) use FWTools natively as a 32 bit application
could someone please explain how I would convert FWTools to a 64 bit
application so that I can run programs like gdalwarp, gdaltindex, and
gdal_translate without the extra overhead of emulation from 32 bit to the 64
bit Windows server.

Thanks,

John Mitchell
