[Qemu-devel] How to build qga-vss.dll?

[Qemu-devel] How to build qga-vss.dll?

[Markus Armbruster]

There's qga/vss-win32/Makefile.objs, and it appears to have a recipe for
qga-vss.dll, but I can't figure out how to actually get make to build
it.  I'm cross-compiling with mingw (for compile-testing purposes only),
I got CONFIG_QGA_VSS=y, make succeeds and produces the usual stuff, but
compiles nothing in qga/vss-win32.  Please advise.

Hi Markus,

The steps to build qga-vss.dll are:

 - Install some MinGW library packages: When I tested in fedora22,
   I need mingw32-winpthreads-static package in addition to
   packages on the qemu wiki page: http://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/W32

 - Download Microsoft VSS SDK from:
   http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23490

 - Extract the SDK
   scripts/extract-vsssdk-headers setup.exe (on POSIX-systems)
   -> extracted into "inc" directory

 - Specify installed SDK directory to configure option as:
   ./configure --cross-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32- \
               --with-vss-sdk=inc

 - make qemu-ga.exe qga/vss-win32/qga-vss.{dll,tlb}

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Tomoki

To build it I used --with-vss-sdk option, without it my qga/vss-win32 
directory was empty.
