Subject: [PATCH 1/2] qga/vss-win32: Fix ConvertStringToBSTR redefinition with newer MinGW
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 00:45:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215164512.322786-2-phind.uet@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251215164512.322786-1-phind.uet@gmail.com>

From: Nguyen Dinh Phi <phind.uet@gmail.com>

Newer versions of MinGW-w64 provide ConvertStringToBSTR() in the
_com_util namespace via <comutil.h>. This causes a redefinition
error when building qemu-ga on Windows with these toolchains.

Add a meson check to detect whether ConvertStringToBSTR is already
available, and conditionally compile our fallback implementation
only when the system does not provide one.
