Description

Created by: t-satoru

I've read the building instructions, and found that as now the cross platform building only provided Linux x64 & arm64 options, building for Windows only have x64 available.

I've also tried to replace Java binaries in Windows x64 release into arm64 Java binaries, then I got a JNA support issue.

My university is using Processing for teaching Java knowledges, and I own a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 tablet with Windows shipped. So, Is there any chance to build a release for Windows ARM64 platform?

Research direction

Start with the repository's building instructions and compare the existing Windows x64 release process with the Linux x64 and arm64 options mentioned in the issue. Investigate the reported JNA support issue after replacing the Java binaries; done means a working Windows ARM64 release build without that incompatibility.
