I had meant to do this some time ago, sorry for the delay.
The original question was:

Here's the skinny. James and I now both have Afterstep working 64-bit.
Sasha Vasko, one of the Afterstep developers, has committed the fixes
into the tree. So I think we can expect future releases to work "out of
the box." The fix that James came up with is here (against 1.8.11):
include/module.h
16c16
int window;
--- < unsigned long window; lib/ASmodule.c 155c155 size_t w; --- < int w; src/afterstep/gnome.c CARD32 val; --- < unsigned long val; Since cvs is at 1.99 now, I would expect the 2.0 to build cleanly. I also just wanted to note that, yes, James Noyes rocks. And Sasha was wonderful for helping us with this. Thank you as well to Casper Dik, who helped track down the "bug" and indicate what the problem was.
