Generation with widl needs to be triggered explicitly and requires
library and include directories containing referenced *.idl and *.tlb
as parameters.
Signed-off-by: Helge Konetzka <hk@zapateado.de>

For tested Msys2 build all referenced resources reside in /<usr>/include.
Msys2 provides its flavours in different /<usr> bases.
This patch derives the missing include directory path from widl path.
Assuming the given widl path is /<usr>/bin/widl, it determines /<usr>
as base and appends /<usr>/include as include and library directories
to widl command. This way the directory is correct for any Msys2
flavour.
It makes sure, only existing directories are appended as parameter.

Ok, that's different issues, it would help to split the patch.

I would file a bug to msys2 instead for widl to use the default include
directory. Otherwise, every widl user out there needs to be adjusted.
(I think it would need a special --with-widl-includedir=DIR, given how
msys2 remaps directory)

I would make qga_vss depend on gen_tlb instead (so the tlb is always built
with the dll)

Hi Helge,
I checked what happened in MSYS2 and this looks like a bug in the widl tool.
I looked into the widl source code and think that it detects the default
include path incorrectly.
During build of widl tool the corresponding variable receive incorrect
value:
`BIN_TO_INCLUDEDIR = ../x86_64-w64-mingw32/include` but should be
`BIN_TO_INCLUDEDIR = ../include`. Looks like a package mismatch,
because the `/ming64/x86_64-w64-mingw32` directory exist
but contains only few libs and no any include files.
So I agreed with Marc-André. I think this bug should be fixed in MSYS2.
I think you can report this issue there
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues
When I checked the build using cross-compilation from Linux,
the widl tool uses proper BIN_TO_INCLUDEDIR.
We should add the rule that qga_vss depends on gen_tlb to get this error
more visible.
Marc-André, what do you think?
Best Regards,
Konstantin Kostiuk.

Hello,
a few moments ago I sent a PR to Msys2 to make widl work as expected.
I've prepared a rather simple patch to activate the generation of
qga-vss.tlb by widl in targets all and qemu-ga, which I will post later on.
Thank you for your patience and your help!
Regards, Helge.

Hi Helge,
In general, the patch looks good but I want to make sure
that we will not break other compilation environments.
What version of MSYS2 do you use?
In my case, I can compile GA without this patch.
Best Regards,
Konstantin Kostiuk.

Hi Konstantin,
sorry not being clear about QEMU versions.
On building the RCs of QEMU 7.0.0:
qemu-ga.exe is produced
qga-vss.dll is produced
qga-vss.tlb is not created
In RCs of QEMU 7.0.0 qga-vss.tlb is no part of the tarball anymore.
The git history of qga/vss-win32/meson.build suggests that qga-vss.tlb
was part of the tarball in 6.2.0.
Now, to create qga-vss.tlb either
MINGW_PREFIX=/mingw64 # or any of /mingw32 /ucrt64 /clang32 /clang64
cd qga/vss-win32
widl -I${MINGW_PREFIX}/include -L${MINGW_PREFIX}/include \
-t "${srcdir}"/${_tarname}/qga/vss-win32/qga-vss.idl -o qga-vss.tlb
needs to be executed or the patch may be applied.
I am not sure what to answer about MSYS2 version. I am talking about
https://msys2.org with packaging code hosted on
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages. MSYS2 is a rolling release
distribution.
Happy Easter,
Helge Konetzka.
