Thanks for your efforts, this and many efforts to maintain the build system up to date help very much to build ARM64 version at this time! > Any help you can provide would be awesome. Unfortunately Github does not provide windows arm machines to build on so we would have to build it and upload it. Yes, you are right, and this is a severe problem for OSS developers. Currently, it isn't easy to get ARM64-based Windows on CI services, because, probably, Windows Server for Arm64 hasn't been produced yet. I built my psqlodbc_arm64.msi with cross-compilation on my dev PC. This brings a ton of pain problems to resolve. However, most problems are still unresolved for automated build purposes. (This means, it requires human hands to fix files manually and so on) And there is still a big problem not resolved yet: I want to provide psqlODBC as **ARM64X** binaries. For now, my psqlodbc_arm64.msi provides only ARM64 binaries. It means: - Windows Installer can succeed. - Case of use by ARM64 apps: Microsoft Access runs on the ARM64 platform will load psqlODBC and it will work. - Case of use by x64 apps: `A5:SQL Mk-2 (x64)` runs on x64 (emulated) platform won't load psqlODBC and it won't work.
