The Windows ARM support in Qt (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows.html) is
currently in technical preview, and applications have to be
cross-compiled from an x86-64 Windows machine and deployed to target.
With upcoming Qt 6.8, Windows on ARM will one of the standard desktop
platforms supported in Qt. However, I didn't find any instruction on how
to do the cross-compile.
