I have been building VICE for many years on several computers. Setting things up is a challenge but after a bit of struggle I get it working. On my brand new laptop the build went fine but there were missing DLLs. Cairo and Curl are two of them I remember. I realise I have previously build and then just done copy with overwrite on an existing installation so missing DLLs would already have been in the destination folder.

So this is just calling for that the build should be self sufficient, which I believe it might not be today.

    Did you try the automatic build from github? if that one works for you, then your own build should work as well

    Did you install ntldd? Querying of DLL dependencies is done with ntldd, copying of a lot of DLLs will fail without it installed.

    Run this to make sure it's installed:
    pacman -S {$MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-ntldd

    No response in two months, I'm closing this as invalid.
