If it works on 32bit it should be correct.

Yes.
Some types have different sizes and even the alignment is different for some types.
For details look here: http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html

I cannot help you directly but I can give you a hint based on my experience with C-headers on 64-bit.
First you should check what types these typedefs like DWORD actually are. After that you can use the corresponding type from the ctypes unit of FPC. This is the easiest way I found to make my C-headers work correctly on 64-bit as types defined in this unit have the correct sizes and alignments.
For example DWORD is actually unsigned long, AFAIK. This would be culong in the ctypes unit.

hope it helps
