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).

Regards,
Stefan

and how can i add a package to cygwin after the installation ? there is any
command line ? , i didn't find a way to add the python package so i
downloaded from internet like the traditional way , then an other error msg
dispalyed ERROR: "cc" either does not exist or does not work
so i add this cross compiler from cygwin folder
 ./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu --python=/Python27/python
--cc=/cygwin64/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
and i got this :/

Please don't attach screenshots when copy-and-paste contents of the
terminal is a lot less bandwidth.

Cygwin installation problems are best asked on the cygwin list
(cygwin@cygwin.com).  To install more packages to your cygwin
installation, rerun the setup.exe that you used for your initial install.

Also, please don't top-post on technical lists.
