[Qemu-devel] [PATCH qemu-ga] qga: Make qemu-ga compile statically for Windows

[Sameeh Jubran]

Attempting to compile qemu-ga statically as follows for Windows causes
the following error:

Compilation:
    ./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

Error:
    path/to/qemu/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

This is caused by a bug in the pkg-config file for glib as it doesn't define
GLIB_STATIC_COMPILATION for pkg-config --static.

If we need this for static glib compilation we should
be adding it where we do the "test for glib and
add glib related flags to the CFLAGS", not in the
part of configure where we decide that we're
compiling the guest agent.

Also, please can we have a comment that clearly states
why we need this and that we're working around a
packaging bug in glib for Windows, please?

thanks

weird, I don't get this error on fedora 25 (but I have no vss-sdk, is that
related?).

If that's a bug in glib, it would be nice to have a link to a bug report.

Can you please try it with vss-sdk (
