Okay, but why the diff? Why should it matter whether you're using 32 or 64 bits? Storage is still storage, and it seems you'd still need to provide that storage even under a 64-bit runtime.

I've boiled the problem down to this snippet:

@property(readwrite) BOOL	capturing;

You haven't declared a compatible ivar named "capturing". You'd need to do something like this:


@interface MyWindow : NSWindow
{
	BOOL capturing;   // <-- here!
}
@property(readwrite) BOOL	capturing;

The line marked above declared an ivar with the same name and the same type as your property declaration, so now synthesize will be able to do its thing.

Obj-C *can* be smart enough to generate this ivar for you behind the scenes, but only if you're using the 64bit runtime. If you don't require 32bit compatibility, turn it off, and then you don't have to worry about declaring these ivars for synthesize.
