While prefix, bindir and qemu_suffix needs special treatment due to differences between Windows and POSIX systems, everything else needs no extra code in configure.Afaik, it's not common to install binaries under $prefix on Windows. I don't know any open-source project doing that. msys2 explicitly change it to bin again: https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-qemu/PKGBUILD#L94 <https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-qemu/PKGBUILD#L94>
It's not, but it's been done like this forever in QEMU for the sake of installing in "C:\Program Files". I didn't want to introduce visible changes with this patch, but we could remove this special casing, and apply it instead when building the NSIS installers. Paolo
