MSYS2-based Windows build: The guide to compile e.g., qemu-system-ppc on Windows with Msys2 works OK to compile Qemu: https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/W32#Native_builds_with_MSYS2 However, when I compile the meson-poc-next branch I run into the following error: hsp@HSP-W10-X64-I7 MINGW64 ~/src/qemu-meson-gitlab/build $ ../configure --cross-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32- --target-list=ppc-softmmu --enable-gtk --enable-sdl ...

When cross compiling from Fedora 32 for Windows with ../configure --cross-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32- --enable-gtk --enable-sdl --target-list=ppc-softmmu I get the error below even though the v2 commit message says there is a fix for the absolute path error included: The Meson build system Version: 0.55.0 Source dir: /home/hsp/src/qemu-meson-gitlab Build dir: /home/hsp/src/qemu-meson-gitlab/build Build type: cross build ../meson.build:1:0: ERROR: prefix value 'c:/Program Files/QEMU' must be an absolute path A full log can be found at /home/hsp/src/qemu-meson-gitlab/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt ERROR: meson setup failed 3. As mentioned earlier here concerning a build on fedora 32 host: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-08/msg02307.html Both SDL and GTK Guis do not seem to work, only the vnc server is started. 4. The v2 patch set seems to not apply cleanly to current qemu-master, I get this error: patching file docs/devel/build-system.rst (renamed from docs/devel/build-system.txt) Hunk #2 succeeded at 179 with fuzz 2 (offset 152 lines). Hunk #3 succeeded at 187 (offset 152 lines). Hunk #4 FAILED at 53. Hunk #5 FAILED at 90. Hunk #6 FAILED at 115. Hunk #7 FAILED at 183. Hunk #8 FAILED at 201. Hunk #9 FAILED at 211.
