Arm64 Native Build For Windows about pomatez HOT 8 OPEN

Oh is this the windows 11 arm preview?

As long as we add something to the name so there isnt a name clash it should be all fine :D

Also was that on wsl also on a arm machine? I meant cross artitecture, because some systems can be a pain when it comes to building though I believe electron usually is the same info then just an internal asar file usually is whats switched out.

Done in #376 .

Sorry but github build actions do not currently support arm64 runners. Though I may be able to set up one of my raspberry pi’s or something to allow it. Though you will need to check what windows os you are using because certain versions can only use windows created executables.

I’ll need to see if the building tools support cross compiling. Luckily as I’ve been adding Tauri support we may have stuff there too.

I build pomatez successfully in wsl.

Just add arm64 to package.json and it just work!

In your first comment, you expressed your concern about the feasibility of cross-compiling, so I first tried a method that does not require cross-compiling, i.e. compiling in wsl on arm64. This method can successfully build pomatez, but not NSIS, so building it requires using wine32, which is not possible on the arm64 platform.

Next, I tried the second method: build pomatez on github actions. I forked this repo, modified the /app/main/package.json to

    "win": {
      "target": [
        {
          "target": "portable",
          "arch": [
            "arm64"
          ]
        },
        {
          "target": "nsis",
          "arch": [
            "arm64"
          ]
        }
      ],

, and luckily, it worked perfectly.

Unfortunately, however, I'm just a programming beginner and I don't know much about package releases, so I don't really plan to make a PR, sorry!

Need to take more of a look, just been quite busy lately though there is also more news about Microsoft and arm now so I will need to take more of a look.
