Hi, How to do it without an Arm computer running Windows ? Currently we use a VirtualBox VM running on Intel Linux computer with a Windows 10 VM and VCPKG as package manager. Can we cross compile Intel to Arm with VCPKG ? If not this require to buy an ARM computer with Windows, which is out of the plan (i refuse to buy a Windows computer at all). Best regards Gilles Caulier Alternatively, if Windows ARM can be installed in a VM, i can run it under my MacBook pro M1 and plan this kind of packaging, when time permit. Best regards Gilles Caulier The problem with WoA is currently QWebEngine. Starting with Qt-6.9, it's supposed to compile, but it apparently uses x64 emulation, which is said to be very slow. Maik Windows ARM ISO is available here : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11arm64 About Qt6WebEngine, it compile and run fine on Arm, as for Mac Silicon for ex... Gilles What does it mean here about VCPKG arm64 support ? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/concepts/supported-hosts "Targeting x86-windows or arm-windows works just fine, but vcpkg itself expects to run AMD64 copies of support tooling like CMake."
