The author is unable to provide 64-bit packages for winff but I can confirm that the latest version of winff (0.41 ATM) compiles and runs without any problem under Hardy x86-64. I couldn't find any instructions on how to compile winff in its docs but it pretty simple:

1 - Install

fpc
fpc-source
lazarus

2 - Download and uncompress zip of latest winff source code somewhere

3 - Run Lazarus IDE (Applications > Programming > Lazarus )

4 - Use File/Open menu to open the file called winff.lpi, in the top level of you winff source dir

5 - Choose 'Build All' from Lazarus' 'Run' menu and then you'll find a winff binary in the source folder

Be much nicer to have it in the Ubuntu repo tho so 64-bit users don't have to do all this!
