Hello,
How are you all?
Today I managed to compile my Godot fork but only in the 32 bit version because Scons only sees MSVC x86.
My attempts to solve this problem:
Compiling with mingw:
When compiling with mingw I get the error: scons platform=windows use_mingw=yes,cannot find specified file platform\windows\godot_windows.windows.tools.64.o]
I added Path for minigw, then changed Path for vcvars64.bat but neither of these options helped.
Running vcvars64.bat didn’t help either.
After entering arch=x86_64 I received information that MSVC ignores architecture overwriting.
I have a 64-bit processor.
Does anyone know of possible causes and solutions that I haven’t tried?
Have a nice weekend.

Maybe it'd be more useful for you to post in the Godot community than here, since there would be more than potentially zero people there who have compiled Godot from source.

Re: Problem with compiling 64 bit programs (MSVC)
You're right. I wrote there first but no response and here in my opinion there is a good community. The real problem is why MSVC is detected only in the x86 version when I also have the x64 version installed. The compilation itself was successful.

It'll depend entirely on what build system Godot uses. I can't really help you there.

Re: Problem with compiling 64 bit programs (MSVC)
I'll tell you this.
Godot requires Scons and I use MSVC compilation using Scons.
I type scons platform=windows in cmd.exe and after a while it displays that MSVC x86 was found and that the 32 bit version of Godot will be compiled.
And that's the problem that it doesn't see the x64 version.
The conversion itself is successful.

Re: Problem with compiling 64 bit programs (MSVC)
The solution is to set the x64 compiler with x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS.
