Dear Maintainer,
The following bug was reported for libslirp in ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libslirp/+bug/2029431
What are you going to build with static slirp?
I'm curious.
This bug report talks about static build of qemu-system. This is something
which
is difficult and definitely not supported upstream, - only very limited set of
options can be enabled for a static qemu-system build. Myself, I see no value
whatsoever in providing or pretending to provide static build of qemu, and will
not support this in debian.
The bug is a request to ship a static library in libslirp-dev. This
seems to be a fair request, therefore, I have submitted the following MR
in salsa to to provide the static lib in the dev package:
https://salsa.debian.org/qemu-team/libslirp/-/merge_requests/2
This MR lacks code which will grab the resulting libslirp.a so build will fail.
It's trivial to build a static library in addition to regular shared. But I
really want to understand the reasoning.
