commit f01496a314d916 moved the logic for detecting libudev from configure to meson.build, but in the process it dropped the condition that meant we only ask pkg-config about libudev for a non-static build.
This breaks static builds of the system emulators on at least Ubuntu 18.04.4, because on that host there is no static libudev but pkg-config still claims it exists. Reinstate the logic that we had in the configure check. Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.mayd...@linaro.org> --- We could certainly do something cleverer here, but basic "convert from configure to meson" should in general not also be changing the detection logic IMHO. We can make the logic smarter as a follow-on patch if desired. --- meson.build | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/meson.build b/meson.build index 3161c1f037a..07da66e1d81 100644 --- a/meson.build +++ b/meson.build @@ -271,7 +271,7 @@ if 'CONFIG_CURL' in config_host link_args: config_host['CURL_LIBS'].split()) endif libudev = not_found -if targetos == 'linux' and (have_system or have_tools) +if targetos == 'linux' and (have_system or have_tools) and not enable_static libudev = dependency('libudev', required: get_option('mpath').enabled(), static: enable_static) -- 2.20.1
