Hello,
I would like to package Qemu for Cygwin.
See https://www.qemu.org/
Thanks for looking into this, and sorry for the delay in responding.
Qemu is included in Debian.
See https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/qemu
Qemu is released under the GNU General Public License, version 2.
Parts of Qemu have specific licenses, see file LICENSE.
See https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/system/license.html
I've prepared cygports for the packages as a POC. See
https://gitlab.com/hejko-cygwin/cygports
Qemu binaries and resources were packaged in mingw64-x86_64-qemu and
mingw64-i686-qemu. To make Qemu accessible in a transparent way, I've
created qemu-integration. It mainly consists of a wrapper and a setup
script.
See
https://gitlab.com/hejko-cygwin/qemu-integration
I assume that it's not straightforward to build cygwin executables of
QEMU, but mentioning some of this issues would help.
Given that: do we really need to build our own MinGW QEMU packages? Can
the integration script just rely on the official Windows packages being
installed?
I've never tried to build Qemu using the Cygwin toolchain. It's not
documented and IMHO it's not supported.
qemu-integration can be configured to execute the official Qemu
distribution easily. I've already provided a configuration example for
this case.
If you think this would be useful, I could create an updated version of
qemu-integration which also defaults to the standard installation path
of the "official" Qemu Windows package.
For download of POC packages see

Any interest for Qemu packages in Cygwin?
If so, I would split Qemu into several packages and add all licenses
included in Qemu source before final upload.
