Title: Core on Windows with ARM processors Post by: DaveF on November 09, 2024, 12:59:13 PM Has there been any discussion on compiling / releasing binaries on ARM for Windows?
Was working on one of them the other day and although I didn't install core since it's not my laptop I could feel the speed difference between native apps and the X86 emulation. They said X86 on ARM is seamless....it is...but you can just feel that it's working a lot harder on X86 apps then ARM apps. Small pauses, longer load times, that kind of thing. Probably would not matter much for core but it's something to think about. -Dave Title: Re: Core on Windows with ARM processors Post by: NotATether on November 21, 2024, 09:04:30 AM I just posted this query to the bitcoin-dev mailing list. Maybe it could be done with Visual Studio but I'm not sure.

After all, WSL already support using ARM-version of the supported Linux distro.

I figure when the next generation of ARM stuff for Windows arrives I will pick up one of the current gen as a leftover and play with it a bit. Although by then someone else probably would have done it and posted about it. If it's a simple cross compile it's surprising that nobody has done it yet. If it's a bit more involved, I can see it not happening until there is a larger demand. -Dave |
