Revision as of 01:44, 31 December 2010

Build environment

mingw is used to build QEMU from source on Windows.
Go to MinGW download page, download mingw-get-inst-20101030.exe, and run the installer.
Use pre-packaged repository cataloguse 20101030
select "C Compiler", "MSYS Basic System" and "MinGW Developer ToolKit"

After installing minGW successfully, open an msys terminal by clicking c:/mingw/msys/1.0/msys.bat (suppose minGW is installed in c:/mingw. The same to below when "c:/mingw" is used)
run below commands to install more packages needed:

mingw-get.exe install libpthread
mingw-get.exe install libexpat

create file link for libpthread.a

cd /mingw/lib
ln -s libpthread.dll.a libpthread.a (windows may create hard file instead of symbolic link. It is fine as well)

Download source package of libSDL-1.2 from here. Copy SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz into c:/mingw/msys/1.0/home/xxx/.

tar xzvf SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz
cd SDL-1.2.14
./configure --prefix=/mingw
make
make install

Download source package of zlib-1.2.3 from here. Get zlib-1.2.3 source directory and copy it into c:/mingw/msys/1.0/home/XXX/

cd zlib-1.2.3
./configure --prefix=/mingw
make
make install

Download source package of libpng 1.4.5 from here. Copy libpng-1.4.5.tar.gz into c:/mingw/msys/1.0/home/xxx/.

tar xzvf libpng-1.4.5.tar.gz
cd libpng-1.4.5
./configure --prefix=/mingw
make
make install
