Water and build on Windows 11 arm

[arturredzko (ArturR)]

Hi
We test and compile the project for .net core on a new MacBook with Parallels and Windows 11 for arm.
The compilation process is very slow and takes e.g. 5-10 minutes compared to less than 1 minute on a typical Windows 11 for Intel PC.
Do you have plans to improve Ebuild to work better with arm and .net core?

Regards
Artur

Yes, .NET 4.x runs v ery sklow, emulated on arm, unfortunately.

We already have been doing that for half year or so, now: both Water and the compiler/EBuild ship as optional .NET Core versions, which will run natively on arm64, if you install the arm64 version of the .NET Core 6 runtime. See the blog post below for more details.
