win64 build

[hasan kol]

Hello,

In FAQ, in the answer of the question "What operating systems does
Subversion run on?" Win64 is not present, unlike Unix, Win32, BeOS, OS/2
and MacOS X.

By any configuration in the build, is it possible to generate static libs
for Windows 64-bit (Win64)?

Regards.

The Mac operating system name is currently "macOS". Could someone update that in this document? Thanks.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for pointing this out. Changed in r1829801.

(I've also changed "Win32" to just "Windows", to avoid the confusion
that started this very thread)

I think Win32 here just refers to the "Windows API" in general, not
limited to 32-bit. As explained here, "Win32" is now just an
alternative for "Windows API":

Yes, certainly. See the list of binary packages listed here (most
provide a 32-bit and a 64-bit version):
