Adding a new platform/architecture to Blender is not a common, well documented task.

This presentation covers the route taken to enabling native builds of Blender on a new platform, based on the experience of porting Blender to Windows on Arm, and the various roadblocks and issues that arose as part of the development process - these range from enabling the building of dependencies, through to the unique OpenGL implementation on Windows on Arm devices, and more.

Told from the perspective of someone who knew nothing about Blender when they started.
