The appended patch fixes the link to Wiki Windows page on Website
Download Sources page.
Furthermore I would like to propose to change the instructions for
Native builds with MSYS2 on Wiki Windows page.
Please remove the section which copies system binaries to match the
expected file names!
Instead define variables for configure (gcc-ar and gcc-ranlib are
existing copies of x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ar and
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ranlib) and add strip to enable make install:
AR=gcc-ar NM=nm OBJCOPY=objcopy RANLIB=gcc-ranlib WINDRES=windres
STRIP=strip \
./configure --cross-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32- --enable-gtk --enable-sdl

Do you even need anything but "./configure"? (possibly AR=gcc-ar NM=nm
at the beginning)?
I applied the webpage fix in the meanwhile, thanks!

Sorry for being indistinct!
My intention was to put "AR=gcc-ar NM=nm OBJCOPY=objcopy
RANLIB=gcc-ranlib WINDRES=windres STRIP=strip" in front of "./configure"
(see the '\' after STRIP=strip) instead of copying binaries:

Hi,
I wrote those instructions as I obviously could not find a better way to
get Qemu to cross-compile using MSYS2 in Windows.
When you look at configure, you see that only adding the cross-prefix will
not find the MSYS equivalents of some tools:
ar="${AR-${cross_prefix}ar}"
looks for x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar.exe and not (as it is named in MSYS2)
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ar.exe
Perhaps it would be better to fix configure for the MSYS2 case so the
flags or the renaming are not required?
Best,
Howard

FWIW it was me that added the MSYS2 section to the wiki since I had a requirement to
do some bespoke Windows builds (see
https://wiki.qemu.org/index.php?title=Hosts/W32&diff=6803&oldid=5723).
As you can see at that point in time there was no need to copy binaries with
different names, or pass --cross-prefix into configure.
So the question is: what has changed? I find it hard to believe that MSYS2/MingW64 is
configured out-of-the-box to break a standard "./configure && make" build incantation.
ATB,
Mark.

But if you are using MSYS2, why do you need cross compilation and
--cross-prefix at all?

Yes, if the static linker is gcc-ar (I think that's only needed with
link-time optimization) you would need AR=. But if you don't need gcc-ar
you don't need to change the AR variable, and if you don't need a cross
prefix you can just set AR=gcc-ar.

Also it is worth pointing out that neither the copying/renaming of binaries or
passing --cross-prefix into configure are required for our MSYS2-based native Windows
CI builds: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/.cirrus.yml.

Currently MSys2 packages qemu successfully for 3 different toolchains:
MINGW64: msvcrt / libstdc++
UCRT64: ucrt / libstdc++
CLANG64: ucrt libc++
see https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/ and
https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-qemu
For CLANG64 configure needs different flags - all other flag-definitions
failed:
AR=llvm-ar RANLIB=llvm-ranlib NM=nm OBJCOPY=objcopy STRIP=strip
WINDRES=windres \
./configure.sh --cross-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32- --enable-gtk --enable-sdl
see
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-qemu/PKGBUILD
Just a note to keep in mind if someone wants to fix.
Regards Helge.

Ah the multiboot.bin failure is a known issue with symlinks - see
https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg750968.html and unfortunately
the wiki didn't get updated accordingly :(
Helge, can you test and see if this fixes your build issue?
ATB,
Mark.

Thanks for pointing to this thread. But I wasn't able to go exactly the
described way.
I've finally succeeded in building Qemu natively from tarball using
symlinks configuring winsymlinks:native instead of described
winsymlinks:nativestrict. I haven't been able to build Qemu from git
sources with symlinks active because of configure failures.
Comparing the native build with the cross build shows that
pc-bios/optionrom/Makefile is only executed for native builds.
To build Qemu natively on default Msys2, I've found an alternative way
WITHOUT creating symlinks by adjusting the copied (instead of linked)
Makefile in build tree:
cd qemu
./configure
SMF="../../../pc-bios/optionrom/Makefile"
BMF="build/pc-bios/optionrom/Makefile"
[ -L $BMF ] || sed -i "s%^\(CURRENT_MAKEFILE\) := .*$%\1 = $SMF%" $BMF
make
The unit tests pass. Build succeeds on git sources and on tarball.
Regards, Helge.
