64 bit Love for windows?
Hey guys! I heard about love from "stabyourself.com"'s recent project: Mari0. I'd really love to check out some of the other games you guys have made, but I'm unable to install Love because I can't find a 64 bit version. Do any of you have a solution to my problem? Is there a 64 bit version somewhere out there that I'm missing, or should I just try to install a thumb-drive version of Linux?

Just for clarification, the 32 bit version does not work on your 64 bit system?

Actually, now that I've downloaded a few more .love files I am able to get some of them to work. A lot of them give me error messaged though, something about incorrect parameters. Anybody know why that would be?

Re: 64 bit Love for windows?
LÖVE is still under heavy development, so many older games you can find on the forums are made for older versions (or unreleased versions) that don't work if you have another version.
Often, the LÖVE version required is mentioned somewhere in the post or near the download, you could look at that.

The 32-bit version works fine on my 64-bit Win7-install. Although I guess a 64-bit version would be nice for performance reasons, it's not like we really need it. Note that OSX doesn't have a 64-bit version either. I guess the main reason Linux does is because a 32-bit program depends on 32-bit libraries, which are rarely found on 64-bit Linuxes.
My game called Hat Cat and the Obvious Crimes Against the Fundamental Laws of Physics is out now!

Re: 64 bit Love for windows?
With linux, it's a lot trickier to use 32-bit libraries, but it is possible. In the end, it's easier to just modify the makefile so that it builds love in 64-bit with the autodepends.T-Bone wrote:The 32-bit version works fine on my 64-bit Win7-install.

It will once 0.8.0 is released.T-Bone wrote:Note that OSX doesn't have a 64-bit version either.
Re: 64 bit Love for windows?
I'm pretty sure 0.8.0 will also have a 64-bit Windows release, seeing as there's 64-bit builds on /builds.
