On Windows, such libraries are files with a \I{DLL}\cw{.dll}

extension, and must have been built in the same way as the PuTTY
|

executable you're running; if you have a 32-bit DLL, you must run a

|
32-bit version of PuTTY, and the same with 64-bit (see
|

|
\k{faq-32bit-64bit}). On Unix, shared libraries generally have a

\cw{.so} extension.

\S{faq-32bit-64bit}{Question} Should I run the 32-bit or the
|
||||||
|
64-bit version?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're not sure, the \I{32-bit Windows}32-bit version is generally
|
||||||
|
the safe option. It will run perfectly well on all processors and on
|
||||||
|
all versions of Windows that PuTTY supports. PuTTY doesn't require to
|
||||||
|
run as a 64-bit application to work well, and having a 32-bit PuTTY on
|
||||||
|
a 64-bit system isn't likely to cause you any trouble.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The 64-bit version
|
||||||
|
\#{XXX-REVIEW-BEFORE-RELEASE (first released in 0.XX)}
|
||||||
|
will only run if you have a 64-bit processor \e{and} a \I{64-bit
|
||||||
|
Windows}64-bit edition of Windows (both of these things are likely to
|
||||||
|
be true of any recent Windows PC). It will run somewhat faster (in
|
||||||
|
particular, the cryptography will be faster, especially during link
|
||||||
|
setup), but it will consume slightly more memory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you need to use an external \i{DLL} for GSSAPI authentication, that
|
||||||
|
DLL may only be available in a 32-bit or 64-bit form, and that will
|
||||||
|
dictate the version of PuTTY you need to use. (You will probably know
|
||||||
|
if you're doing this; see \k{config-ssh-auth-gssapi-libraries} in the
|
||||||
|
documentation.)
