Version for Windows on Arm? #2132

Open geekinchief22 opened 5 months ago

geekinchief22 commented 5 months ago

I want to be able to run this on a laptop with Windows on Arm and Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. Is there a way to compile it for Windows on Arm and, if so, would it take advantage of the Snapdragon's NPU?

You could try using MSYS2 and build whisper.cpp using make or cmake in CLANGARM64 environment.

CI build definition shows what packages to install (pacman -S PACKAGE_NAME...):

I don't have ARM64 device w/ Windows, so cannot test it myself, but I would expect it to work more or less.

Afterall, there is relevant whisper.cpp package in MSYS2 already, mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-whisper.cpp, so instead of building whisper.cpp yourself, you could just download and use this package.
