At this point, I was completely baffled. Finally, enlightenment struck.

So it seems that "64-bit" is not really 64-bit (rather misleading if you ask me). Are there any plans to actually release a 64-bit version?

There are a number of binaries that differ between our 32-bit and 64-bit packages, but even with the 64-bit package, we rely on some software that requires 32-bit compatibility (the flash player, and android SDK if developing mobile games).

There's a guide for installing on 64-bit Linux machines here.

You can use 64-bit Java, if you have it installed on your system, by changing the the "Stencyl" script: Just replace

Code: [Select]

./runtimes/jre-linux/bin/java
with

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/java
or a path to your java executable.

We're changing the bundled JRE for the 64-bit version in the next release, but you'll still need to add 32-bit compatibility for flash player and android sdk.
