[PATCH] target/hexagon: don't look for static glib
Posted by Alyssa Ross 1 year, 6 months ago 
When cross compiling QEMU configured with --static, I've been getting
configure errors like the following:

    Build-time dependency glib-2.0 found: NO

    ../target/hexagon/meson.build:303:15: ERROR: Dependency lookup for glib-2.0 with method 'pkgconfig' failed: Could not generate libs for glib-2.0:
    Package libpcre2-8 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpcre2-8.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
    Package 'libpcre2-8', required by 'glib-2.0', not found

This happens because --static sets the prefer_static Meson option, but
my build machine doesn't have a static libpcre2.  I don't think it
makes sense to insist that native dependencies are static, just
because I want the non-native QEMU binaries to be static.

Thanks for the patch, Alyssa - I'll give it a try.

Hmm - ok, I misunderstood the intent of the change because I didn't read 
the commit message too carefully.  I understand the goal now.

This seems appropriate in most situations, and I guess configure doesn't 
have a way to distinguish between whether host tools should be static or 
not.  So it LGTM.

Anton, Alessandro -- thoughts?

This makes sense, and assuming glib2 is shared seems more sensible.  We might
get the inverse problem where a static glib2 would not be found.  I'm a bit
surprised meson wouldn't fallback on trying to find a shared version of
glib2 when prefer_static is set, hmm.
