[Qemu-devel] qemu-ga static compilation

[Sameeh Jubran]

Hi all,

I am trying to compile qemu-ga for Windows statically using the following
commands:

./configure --disable-docs --target-list=x86_64-softmmu
--cross-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32- --static --enable-guest-agent-msi
--with-vss-sdk=/path/to/VSSSDK72

make -j8 qemu-ga


And I keep getting this error:

/home/sameeh/Builds/q/stubs/error-printf.c:7: undefined reference to
`__imp_g_test_config_vars'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:444: recipe for target 'qemu-ga.exe' failed
make: *** [qemu-ga.exe] Error 1


Notes to consider:
* without --static I can compile it successfully
* Build machine is running Fedora 25
* I have upgraded all of the tools to their latest version
* If I comment out the function which is causing the issue
(g_test_initialized()), qemu ga compiles statically and runs successfully
without the need of any dlls.

Can anyone reproduce this? Do you have any idea why is this happening?
