WIP: Crosscompile for Windows arm64

[trufae]

Looks like the final executable generated by the CI is for x86-64

Observations:

• x64 as host builds faster than x86_64

And here also amd64_arm64 for crosscompile?

[trufae]

this is from visual studio, the naming convention is different between the action and the compiler. i think this is fine

[trufae]

oh just checked the vs batch script and seems to handle also amd64_arm64 which is the same as x64_arm64, so both options are valid 👍

Also using meson cross-compile feature will be required to avoid a sanity check error.

never used that before. did you?

meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Could not invoke sanity test executable: [WinError 216] This version of %1 is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher.

yes, I arrived at the same point in my fork.

this is because meson is checking as if you are building for native environment.
To avoid it it is requiered to use the crosscompile functionality of meson, just like it is done for android builds (using a configuration file per env).

I tried in my fork but it would be easier to implement it having a local windows build environment.
