Hi Richard and Marc-André
I looked into the compilation problem and have 2 solutions:
1. We can add some conditions to the win2qemu definition and
skip NVME support when old mingw-headers are used.
2. We can bump the version of the Fedora docker image to 36 or 37
that is used for cross-compilation tests.
I think the second option is more valuable because we remove
pregenerated qga-vss.tlb file and now we can check VSS build only
at Fedora 37.
What do you think?
I'd try to do both: fix compilation with older headers, and bump our
CI to f36. I don't know if our windows build environment has strict
requirements like the unix/distro (build on old-stable for 2y).
See https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/about/build-platforms.html#windows :
"The project supports building QEMU with current versions of the MinGW
toolchain, either hosted on Linux (Debian/Fedora) or via MSYS2 on Windows."
Since Fedora 35 is still a supported build host, I think you should make
sure that it works with the MinGW toolchain from that distro, too.
