QEMU

(This assumes a working MSYS2 setup, which I haven't yet written a note on. It's not that difficult though.)

Sources:

* Compile QEMU from source on Windows 11 8 Allow mklink for a non-admin user

MSYS2 Packages

You need the following packages:

pacman -S base-devel git python ninja python-setuptools
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glib2 mingw-w64-x86_64-pixman
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3 mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-libslirp

Enable Windows Developer Mode

In a command prompt (Win-R, cmd), enter start ms-settings:developers. Enable developer mode. (Necessary since the build process needs to be able to make symbolic links.)
