Diff for Qt 5.10.1 for Windows 10 ARM64
Raw
qt.patch
This patch implements numerous changes to make the Qt 5.10.1 build work for the new ARM64 target in
Visual Studio 2017. This change also includes a couple of new batch scripts, in case you want to build
on the target machine itself (very slow) or build on an x86/x86_64 host (much faster).
You can build with something like this:
> configure_src_on_x86_host.bat
> jom -f Makefile Debug Release

I haven't tested the binaries on an ARM64 device yet, but compiling/linking is a pretty good first step.

Thanks for the help, I was able to compile Qt for Windows on ARM64 using cross compilation.

After making sure to install the Visual C++ Redistributables for ARM64, I was able to run qml.exe -h and qmake -h, at least it does demonstrates that the builds run on the target device, so that's the first step.

I plan to start figuring out how to get PySide2 running, as Python 3.8.5 is buildable on ARM64 with a generated binary here, but Python itself may be a rough road as all the more advanced python modules need their C libraries recompiled too...

Hah, Python issue 33125 was filed by me. It looks like they got it mostly fixed.

I too seem to have built 15.1 although have not tested yet. Thank you sooooooo much! The version coming out of this seems to be the arm version which would require building on an arm device.

Any idea what would be needed to build a cross compiler version so I could integrate into my existing build server? (amd64 host building for arm64 target)

You should be able to run vcvarsx86_arm64.bat (or vcvarsamd64_arm64.bat) from Visual Studio's install and then build as usual.

You'll run into trouble with it not being able to execute the qmake.exe it just built during that process (because it's an arm64 build of it). So you'll need to use the x86_64 tools for e.g. qmake.exe and the like. I haven't hacked that into the build system in my patches though, so you might have to experiment to figure out how to get it to use the x86_64-native ones while cross-compiling.

@tycho did you successfully build qt5.15 for arm64 and then used it in a native arm64 win app?
I used your patch and was succesful on getting qt for arm64, then I cross-compiled my app with arm64 as a target using moc and qmlcachegen but then it's having issues finding the resources (note that it works if compiled with amd64 as a target)

Qt [Warning] (qrc:/MyWindow.qml, $function): qrc:/MyWindow.qml:226:5: MyDialog is not a type

Note: MyDialog is defined under the qrc file.

Anything else you had to do after this patch?

@tycho thank you very much for your code sample and patch! It was veeery helpful and i added patch to build for arm64-windows to the vcpkg. Details there:

microsoft/vcpkg#16922 (comment)

Or full patch is in this fork and branch (all my last commits, I squash them from time to time): https://github.com/ptyio/vcpkg/commits/ptyio

I tested that Qt 5.15.12 can be cross compiled in Developer PowerShell for VS 2022 without any patches:

./configure -opensource -confirm-license -nomake tests -nomake examples `
            -schannel -release -platform win32-msvc -xplatform win32-arm64-msvc2017

You should not call vcvarsx86_arm64.bat or vcvarsamd64_arm64.bat, otherwise it will use the arm64 toolsets to build host tools like qmake, which are unexecutable on x64 systems.
