Hello,
A small introduction - I work on Linaro's Windows on Arm enablement team,
and we work on porting/enabling various open-source projects for the
platform.
We have recently done a small investigation, and it turns out nginx can be
compiled OOB on Windows ARM64 platforms with VS2022 - an example run from
our internal nightlies can be seen here:
https://gitlab.com/Linaro/windowsonarm/packages/nginx/-/jobs/5742208111
With the advent of things like Microsoft's Azure Windows ARM64
instances[0], and various client devices, it is a growing platform. Our
partners (Microsoft and Qualcomm) would be interested in seeing a release!
Is an official Windows ARM64 build something you have considered? Would you
consider it?
Thanks,
Anthony

Yep, there shouldn't be any problems with building, at least when
building nginx itself and/or when building OpenSSL with "no-asm".
In more sophisticated cases, some adjustment might be needed, see
https://hg.nginx.org/nginx/rev/3c4d81ea1338 for an example.
If you'll find any issues and/or need any help, don't hesitate to
write here or in the nginx-devel@ mailing list.

As of now, there are no plans to publish additional official nginx
for Windows builds.
Note well that nginx for Windows is in beta and unlikely to be
considered production ready in the foreseeable future
(https://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html). Its main purpose is to
facilitate web development directly on Windows devices.

Sorry. I misinterpreted the announcement. Is Windows ARM64 open source?

Hello,
Thanks Maxim for letting me know about nginx for Windows - I will feed it
back that it's not production ready. For development, I suspect emulated
x64 will suffice on Win11 ARM64 machines.
Edward - I'm unsure of your question? Windows is a proprietary and
closed-source OS, and has been since 1985, but as per my first email nginx
(the subject of this mailing list, and which is open-source) can be
compiled from source successfully OOB for Windows ARM64 targets, producing
a native binary.
Thanks,
Anthony
