64-bit QT for Windows #262

Open nelsobe opened 7 years ago

nelsobe commented 7 years ago

QT is still at 32-bit for windows. An trial made recently to update to a newer QT so that Windows could use the 64-bit version caused problems in the Linux version. We should drill down on this and figure it out so that all supported machine types can use 64-bit QT.

Ideally, we should see how hard it is to abandon QT. QT for Java is no longer being updated (it's a decade out of date now) and, from the limited tinkering I've done with it, the new replacement for Swing, JavaFX, seemed decent.
