FWIW, a configure line that works for me for static system-emulation builds on Ubuntu 18.04 with QEMU 6.0 is:
'../../configure' '--target-list=arm-softmmu' '--enable-debug' '-- static' '--disable-tools' '--disable-sdl' '--disable-gtk' '--disable- vnc' '--disable-virtfs' '--disable-attr' '--disable-libiscsi' '--disable-libnfs' '--disable-libusb' '--disable-opengl' '--disable- numa' '--disable-usb-redir' '--disable-bzip2' '--audio-drv-list=' '--disable-guest-agent' '--disable-vte' '--disable-mpath' '--disable- libudev' '--disable-vhost-user' '--disable-curl' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878348 Title: --static build fails in v5.0 (since 5010cec2bc87dafab39b3913c8ca91f88df9c540) Status in QEMU: Fix Released Bug description: Hi, Since commit 5010cec2bc87dafab39b3913c8ca91f88df9c540, building qemu fails when configured with --static (eg ../configure --target- list=x86_64-softmmu,x86_64-linux-user --enable-debug --static). On ubuntu 16.04, it fails to find -lffi and -lselinux. After I apt-get install libffi-dev libselinux1-dev, the build still fails: ../backends/dbus-vmstate.o: In function `_nocheck__trace_dbus_vmstate_pre_save': /home/christophe.lyon/src/qemu/build-static/backends/trace.h:29: undefined reference to `_TRACE_DBUS_VMSTATE_PRE_SAVE_DSTATE' ../backends/dbus-vmstate.o: In function `_nocheck__trace_dbus_vmstate_post_load': /home/christophe.lyon/src/qemu/build-static/backends/trace.h:52: undefined reference to `_TRACE_DBUS_VMSTATE_POST_LOAD_DSTATE' ../backends/dbus-vmstate.o: In function `_nocheck__trace_dbus_vmstate_loading': /home/christophe.lyon/src/qemu/build-static/backends/trace.h:75: undefined reference to `_TRACE_DBUS_VMSTATE_LOADING_DSTATE' ../backends/dbus-vmstate.o: In function `_nocheck__trace_dbus_vmstate_saving': /home/christophe.lyon/src/qemu/build-static/backends/trace.h:98: undefined reference to `_TRACE_DBUS_VMSTATE_SAVING_DSTATE' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1878348/+subscriptions
