Anyone with experience on cross-compiling in windows visual studio c++ for ARM64?

My problem is also described here:

[visual c++ - Error C1189 when compiling OpenCV for arm64 at amd64 - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77000339/error-c1189-when-compiling-opencv-for-arm64-at-amd64)

To recap: I get this:

```auto
fatal error C1189: #error: This header is specific to X86, X64, ARM64, and ARM64EC targets

```

Although my environment is all set up correctly for cross-compilation
