[Bug 1885827] Re: building plugin failed on Windows with mingw

["Emilio G. Cota" <1885827@bugs.launchpad.net>]

You're getting close.

1. From the build directory, find the import library created, e.g. `find
. -name 'libqemu_plugin.dll.a'`. If you're building x86_64-linux-user,
it should be in `x86_64-linux-user/libqemu_plugin.dll.a`.

2. Go back to the `build/tests/plugin` directory.

3. Link the empty plugin with:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libempty.so -o libempty.so empty.o -L/path/to/libqemu_plugin.dll.a/directory -lqemu_plugin.dll

Note the added -L and -l flags.

If that works, move on to the other plugins, although you might have to
comment out the glib-dependent code. But let's not go there yet; try to
build the empty plugin first.

Title:
  building plugin failed on Windows with mingw

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  I want to build QEMU 4.2.0's plugin module on Windows 7/10 with Mingw, but the building process faild.
   
  The step I follow is listed below:
  1. create "dsp_build" diretory under source file folder

  2.  change directory to dsp_build , and run ../configure --target-list=dsp-softmmu --cross-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32- --enable-gtk --enable-sdl --enable-debug --enable-plugins
  3. build qemu project
  4. switch dir to /dsp_build, make -C tests/plugin, yeilds error: 
     CC      bb.o
   D:/emu_devl/qemu_src/qemu-sr-dsp-a/qemu_tidsp_c3x/tests/plugin/bb.c:17:24: error: variable 'qemu_plugin_version' definition is marked dllimport

  5.  Then , I modified the QEMU_flags and the compilation command
  arguments($(CC) ..) in  the  makefile :

                  BUILD_DIR := $(CURDIR)/../..

  		include $(BUILD_DIR)/config-host.mak
  		include $(SRC_PATH)/rules.mak

                  $(call set-vpath, $(SRC_PATH)/tests/plugin)

  		NAMES :=
  		NAMES += bb
  		NAMES += empty
  		NAMES += insn
  		NAMES += mem
  		NAMES += hotblocks
  		NAMES += howvec
  		NAMES += hotpages

                  SONAMES := $(addsuffix .so,$(addprefix lib,$(NAMES)))

  		QEMU_CFLAGS += -fPIC	-DBUILDING_DLL  		#added  -DBUILDING_DLL
  		QEMU_CFLAGS += -I$(SRC_PATH)/include/qemu

                  all: $(SONAMES)

  		lib%.so: %.o
  			$(CC) -fPIC -shared -o $@ $^ $(LDLIBS) -L /c/msys64/mingw64/lib/ -lglib-2.0
  			# original cmd: $(CC) -shared -Wl,-soname,$@ -o $@ $^ $(LDLIBS)

  		clean:
  			rm -f *.o *.so *.d
  			rm -Rf .libs

                  .PHONY: all clean

  6.  Executing make yeilds:

  make: enter   “/d/emu_devl/qemu_src/qemu-sr-dsp-a/qemu_tidsp_c3x/build_dsp/tests/plugin”

  collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

     It looks like linking problem(fail to link functions defined in api.c, core.c...), but I have no idea what goes wrong. If I mannualy add api.o, core.o in the compilation command, still get error like undefined reference to '__stack_chk_guard'. 
     My collegue can build 4.2.0  plugins on Ubuntu Linux without any problem.
