Building QEMU errors

[Punj, Siddhartha]

Hi QEMU community,

 

I’m trying to build QEMU on my development environment on Windows (64 bit, windows 10 enterprise), but am facing issues.

 

I’m using the MSYS2 installer as administrator with the following commands:  

 

pacman -Syu

pacman -Su

pacman -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain git python ninja

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glib2 mingw64/mingw/w64-x86_64-gtk3 mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 python-setuptools

closed console

 

started mingw64

git clone  https://www.gitlab.com/qemu/qemu

cd into qemu

and then ran the following command on MinGW64:

 

./configure --enable-gtk --enable-sdl --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-werror --disable-stack-protector --disable-capstone --enable-debug

 

And I’m getting the following output in my build: ln: failed to create symbolic link 'x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64.exe': No such file or directory

 

Is this a known issue for QEMU right now that’s critical? I’m trying to use/modify QEMU to create a virtual PCIe device. Please let me know/how I could potentially resolve this.

 

Thanks,
