[Boost-users] Is Boost API 32Bit only?

I try to build Boost on MSYS2-64Bit which includes 64-Bit  headers of
windows. Boost is calling a 32-Bit variant of windows API even when
Boost is configured to build 64-Bit.

There is a 64Bit pre build variant of Boost on sourceforge. That seems
to run only in visual studio? Does it use a 32 Bit API as well?

Is there any reason for this design?

I personaly prefer any variant of GCC over visual studio due to time
consuming experiences with visual studio.

Kind regards
