Compile to arm
-
I'm new in the topic of arm, amd, x64, x86, i don't know what is the 'default' architecture(?) when you build a Qt project on
Visual Studioto Windows, I can see on myc++project near Release it says 'x64'.I have been reading a lot of "Windows on arm" and I'm wondering, if I have a project that is build only using Qt, i mean no external lib dependencies, how 'easy' or 'complicated' would be to one day compile it to
arm?It would involve rewriting its source? or all i would need is just modify how its compiled?

@Kattia Assuming you have a Qt library built for the ARM architecture then your program should require little, if any, change. The areas it would have to change will be anything you have done that assumes an x86 64- or 32-bit architecture or features not available on Windows for ARM (whatever they may be).
