The result of this process would be an installer file 7z1900-arm64.msi which can be used to install 7-zip on a Windows for ARM64 machine. ( DOC/7zip.wxs file) and compile the resulting MSI.
The build script will download WiX 3.14 from the official website, apply the patch to add ARM64 platform to the installer script This step ( build_msi.ps1) uses WiX Toolset to compile the MSI installer.Īt the time of writing a prerelease version is required to compile an MSI for ARM64 platform. It will also download the existing 7-zip installer and extract some other files required by MSI installer into the same directory. The build script will collect the artifacts from step 1 and place them into a single directory. The next step is to prepare the files that will be packed into the MSI installer ( prepare_msi.ps1). It will then download 7-zip source code from the official website and compile it using nmake.exe. The build script will use vswhere.exe to find your Visual Studio / Visual C++ Build Tools installation and enter the dev environment. To build 7-zip source code for ARM64, run build_7z.ps1 script from PowerShell. The build scripts use it to apply patches ( git apply).
The installation must include MSVC compiler for ARM64.
Microsoft Visual Studio / C++ Build Tools 2017 / 2019. It is used to extract the source code and other files from the existing installer. If you would like to build an installer on your local machine, assuming that you are cross-compiling from an 圆4 machine, you will need the following prerequisites:ħ-zip. Please go to the Releases to find the latest available release. Buildingīuilds are run by GitHub Actions. The project aims to be easily auditable, so it only provides build scripts and patches for the original 7-zip source code. This project contains build scripts to build the latest stable version of 7-zip for Windows 10 on ARM.
