SharpDevelop Add 64-bit compatibility

Hello, Would you mind in adding to the Target CPU combo box 64- bit Intel compatible processor since almost all computers have both 32 and 64 bit architecture in one -> Also called WOW64.
Thank you.

Just wondering if this will be in the next version of SharpDevelop.

Target CPU

Any processor (prefer 32-bit) [AnyCPU (32-bit preferred)](.NET 4.5 or later only)
Any processor (prefer 64-bit) [AnyCPU]
32-bit Intel-compatible processor [x86]
x86-64 processor [x64]
Intel 64-bit Itanium processor [Itanium]

Would it work in debug mode if I target the CPU to Any processor (prefer 64-bit) or x86-64. I use to target 64-bits in debug mode but the debuger dont work

This is because SharpDevelop.exe is compiled as x86. If there are separate exes SharpDevelop-x86.exe and SharpDevelop-x64.exe, then debugging 64-bit process may be possible.

ILSpy can debug in 64-bit mode because it is compiled as AnyCPU, not x86.

Can I compile SharpDevelop as 64-bit?? could you please give me the steps with the source code.

Try to change SharpDevelop.exe Platform to AnyCPU, compile the project, see if it runs successfully or not.

Oh my bad, it's already been added. Sorry.

In SharpDevelop.csproj, set <Prefer32Bit>False</Prefer32Bit>. Compile the project. Then delete AddIns\VersionControlSubversionAddIn and AddIns\Misc\UsageDataCollector (because they have 32-bit DLLs) Start SharpDevelop.exe. Now you can debug 64-bit processes in SharpDevelop!

Why SharpDevelop do not release a Setup for 64-bits Windows?

I've created a 64 Bit Branch here: https://github.com/jogibear9988/SharpDevelop/tree/64bitVersion but I've fixed all the modules to 64Bit (PackageManagment also did not work in 32 Bit). I now look to include this into master, so we can select Platform to compile a 32Bit and a 64Bit Version!
