native WinARM QtCreator and compilers?

[davecotter]

wondering when i'll be able to install the native WinARM build of QtCreator, and use native ARM jom and native MSVC build tools

note i'm still building x64 apps, i just want to use ARM native tools to do it, then run / debug the x64 app using the ARM native debugger.

that gonna happen or is it a pipe dream?

:)

note i'm not interested in compiling Qt Creator myself, i just want the binary from the installer, thanks

@davecotter There is online installer for Win on ARM: https://d13lb3tujbc8s0.cloudfront.net/onlineinstallers/qt-online-installer-windows-arm64-4.9.0.exe Did you try that?

@davecotter we do have now native WinARM builds at https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/16.0/16.0.2/

And as @jsulm mentioned, the windows-arm64 installer will get you the native Qt Arm64 build. The windows-x64 installer will install the cross-compiled version.

When you mention "compilers" with the installer I assume it's about MinGW. We don't ship Windows Arm64. I have a few bug reports open, but I think the interest is not that big.

• Migrate the LLVM MinGW architecture from x86_64 to arm64
• Missing LLVM-MinGW Arm64 packages

jom looks like it doesn't have a native arm64 release either. https://download.qt.io/official_releases/jom/

re: minGW, no sorry i mean the VS2022 ones. but i'm not sure which to install? and the big question is: can i compile x64 using this winARM native compiler?

[davecotter]

specifically: which VS Installer "individual components" must i install to accomplish cross compile, using ARM native compiler to emit x64 instructions?

[jsulm]

@davecotter You have to install arm64 to x86_64 cross compiler if you want to generate x86_64 binaries on arm machine.

[davecotter]

right but there are so many and i don't know which to pick?

this screenshot is like 1 of 5 screens, just a sample:

@davecotter Just scroll down to the x64/x86 versions
