Details

vice 3.4-1 is missing the executable file "x64". Previous versions (3.3-3 and earlier) include it.

While it is possible to run x64sc as a workaround, this requires significantly more CPU resource compared to plain x64. In my case the workaround is not viable, because x64sc cannot run smoothly on my Celeron N3450 netbook. Yet x64 has always run perfectly. Also, even on stronger laptops, x64sc uses more power leading to shorter battery life. I expect for many people x64 is the best or only choice.

I may have found the source of the problem. As of version 3.4, the "--enable-x64" option must be configured in order for x64 to build. Refer to http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/NEWS.

"skip building x64 unless --enable-x64 is passed to configure"

Since this seems like a configure/build issue, and not an upstream bug, I am reporting it here. It's my first bug report, I hope I've done it right.
This task depends upon

Welcome! And thank you for fixing so quickly, I noticed 3.4-2 is in [community] already so I upgraded. x64 executable is back, and all is good.
