libPack release x64 or x32?

Post by paddle »

Hi there,
Just to mention that the release page of the libpacks, don't specify if the built versions are x64 or x32.
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-LibPack/releases

So when you follow the compile tutorial (https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Compile_on_Windows), you're asked to take care of compiling in x64 if you have x64 version of the libpack. Which is now not indicated in the download page.

Only after checking the files inside the libs, did I found x64 in the names.

It might be better to indicate that on the release page, such that no confusion can be left.

The wiki page should probably be updated to not include references to x86 compilation anymore, we don't have a libpack for that for a long time now
