Bug 487918 – app-emulation/qemu[static-user] - ld: cannot find -lssh2 (and others when they are not built with static-libs)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description jannis 2013-10-13 18:55:32 UTC]

Trying to build a static arm userspace emulator, qemu fails to linking, missing -lssh2, -lssl -lgmp and -lcrypto.
While openssh and gmp have a static-libs USE-flag (which I guess would be necessary as dependency), openssl does not. Don't know which package provides -lcrypto

Reproducible: Always

As expected, when openssl and gmp are built with +static-libs, the only error line appearing is:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lssh2

So -lcrypto is supplied by openssl

i also got the same error with sys-libs/zlib, had to enable static-libs on that package

static-user doesn't need static zlib/etc..., but static-softmmu does.  the deps are correct, but the configure logic might need tweaking.

should be all set now in the tree.  if you still see issues with qemu-2.0.0+, please file a new bug with specific logs/etc...
