Description Nathan Shearer 2019-10-25 20:40:21 UTC

While attempting to build qemu with USE=static a linking error occurred because I was missing the /usr/lib64/libpixman-1.a file.

The x11-libs/pixman ebuild does not have a static-libs or static use flag.

I downloaded the source for the current stable version of pixman in portage: x11-libs/pixman-0.38.4 from http://www.pixman.org/ and https://www.cairographics.org/releases/

The default for pixman is to compile both dynamic and static libraries, but portage is not installing the static libraries and offers no way to indicate that I do in fact need them compiled and installed for qemu to work with USE=static

    x11-libs/pixman: Reintroduce static-libs USE flag
    
    A couple of packages actually depend on this, even though it looks
    static libs have not been installed since the transition to Meson. The
    tree hasn't broken because they use [static-libs(+)].
