hello

i'm trying to configure qemu on windows so i'm using MinGW and msys

 every time i run the script configure (./configure) an error message show about missing packages , i fixed those errors i installed pkg-config  , zlib packages but the last error i couldn't fix it

ERROR: glib-2.12 gthread-2.0 is required to compile QEMU

please any one have any idea how to fix that 

thanks

MinGW is no longer supported because of unmaintained header files,
missing packages, old compilers and other reasons.

I suggest using Cygwin and the Mingw64 cross tools and packages
provided by Cygwin. For 64 bit Windows, see these packages:

https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=mingw64-x86_64&arch=x86_64

32 bit uses these packages:

https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=mingw64-i686&arch=x86_64

(Both examples are for 64 bit Cygwin)

With Cygwin, it is no longer necessary to search packages for QEMU at
different places or to build them yourself.

Either install all those packages, or start with mingw64-i686-gcc-g++-4.9.2-2,
mingw64-i686-gtk3-3.18.6-1 and maybe some more (most packages needed
will be installed automatically because of dependencies).
