Hi,
  yes, you can follow 2 ways: cross compile on Linux or native build,
is up to you.

For the cross compiled version easier to use Fedora (you can easily
use a container), see .gitlab-ci.yml file or
mingw-spice-vdagent.spec.in for list of required specific packages
(the gitlab script is pretty small and easy to follow).

For the native compiler you can follow the appveyor.yml file, easy to
use vcpkg to get required dependencies. It mainly uses CMake.
