Fork init'ed from 19553209436ae7b9e036641f4013246111192d5c.
This directory is NOT a crate. It contains heavily forked code from the libslirp-rs project that has been tightly integrated with net_util.
libslirp-rs depends on a bunch of libraries (libslirp and its dependencies). Run upload_libslirp_prebuilts.ps1 helps to setup msys, fetch sources, build and upload prebuilts given the version of the prebuilts.
Install Msys2 which is used for building libslirp, a third party library used by the emulator. Open a msys2 window, install necessary packages with the following commands:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-meson ninja git mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-glib2 mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config
Note: You may need to add msys locations(which by default is C:\msys64\mingw64\bin) to your PATH.
Following commands should build the libslirp library and place it in build directory.
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/slirp/libslirp.git cd libslirp meson build ninja -C build
libslirp depends on msys2's package that provides libglib-2.0-0.dll and glib inturn depends on a few other libraries. On linux libglib-2.0-0.dll is not available as a dll with mingw setup or in another other apt packages. So you need to build dependent libraries either manually or get them prebuilt from somewhere. Once you have those, create a file name cross-compile in libslirp directory that looks something like
c = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc' cpp = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++' ar = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar' strip = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-strip' pkgconfig = 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-pkg-config' exe_wrapper = 'wine64' [built-in options] pkg_config_path = ['/tmp/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/', '/tmp/x86_64-w64-mingw32/', '/tmp/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig'] [host_machine] system = 'windows' cpu_family = 'x86_64' cpu = 'x86_64' endian = 'little'
and then run the following command to build
meson build --cross-file=cross-compile ninja -C build
Note: Above steps highly depends on how you have setup your cross-compiling environment.
