Hi,

in local/local.conf it [bitbake core-image-minimal] fails, if i use libxml2-staticdev

# Specify the 32-bit libraries to be added to all images

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++ libedit libxml2-staticdev"

================================== i get the following errors==================================

ERROR: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Function failed: do_rootfs

ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/polar/zcu_yocto/poky/build/tmp/work/zcu102_zynqmp-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.17721

ERROR: Task 9 (/home/polar/zcu_yocto/poky/meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal.bb, do_rootfs) failed with exit code '1'

NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 2144 tasks of which 2143 didn't need to be rerun and 1 failed.

===================================

if i use as below, there is no issue. however there is no .so

# Specify the 32-bit libraries to be added to all images

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++ libedit libxml2"

i ran

bitbake -e | grep static-libs

and all the "no-static-libs.inc" are commented [#]

Thanks

Its possible you have conf/distro/include/no-static-libs.inc included
in your build (bitbake -e would tell you).

If so, you could remove that include or set:

DISABLE_STATIC = ""

as it would currently be set to this if that include file is included:

DISABLE_STATIC = " --disable-static"

We tend not to build static libraries as they're a waste of space/time
on the most part.

Cheers,

Richard
