PR Details

This is a highly experimental WIP draft of getting the entire Stride suite to compile and run on Windows on Arm (WoA).
There has been a lot of broad stroke changes that change projects from win-x64 to win-arm64, just to test this proof of concept.
I have gone through every mention of x86/x64 through the repo to add in arm64 where appropriate, but there are some issues surrounding the native libraries. I feel that there's perhaps documentation somewhere on how to build these binaries that exist in the repo, maybe?

I am seeking any and all feedback and assistance with this PR where possible. I am on Discord in the Stride server as pierce @archanox

Milestone:

  1. Getting the solution to build for arm64 with everything working (tests, packaged, installer built, etc)
  2. Configure multiple targets for a win-x64 build and win-arm64

Current Issues checked in:

  • ClearScript was only bundled with x86/x64 binaries. Dependencies for the Metrics were erroneously upgraded for the entire project. Untested.
  • There are missing binaries for arm64 that do not exist in the repo
  • 32bit/64bit checks assume x86 platform
  • Native library build scripts appear to be pointing at an old version of visual studio
  • MSBuild paths for x86/x64 have been temporarily removed until successful build & test.
  • Preliminary ARM64 UWP changes were checked in, but will likely be reverted.

Goal of this PR:

  • To develop on a WoA device, with Visual Studio integration and to build for Windows and Linux platforms.

Outside the scope of this PR:

  • CI for automated builds of the arm64 version
  • NuGet publishing

Was there any more movement on this (or discussion on other platforms)? Was there anything preventing review?
