Patch had been included here: http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=cfeda5f4b8710b6ba14 So I think we can now mark this ticket as "Fix released".
** Changed in: qemu Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094786 Title: static build with curses fails if requires -ltinfo Status in QEMU: Fix Released Bug description: On my system (amd64 Debian wheezy/sid) static ncurses build requires -ltinfo: $ pkg-config --libs --static ncurses -lncurses -ltinfo $ ../../configure --enable-curses --static # Actually this fails on line if compile_prog "" "$curses_lib" ; then # with ERROR ERROR: User requested feature curses ERROR: configure was not able to find it ERROR # but if we add -ltinfo to this line check succeds ... static build yes ... $ make ... ... CC i386-softmmu/hw/i386/../kvm/pci-assign.o LINK i386-softmmu/qemu-system-i386 ../os-posix.o: In function `change_process_uid': /home/vadim/soft/qemu/os-posix.c:205: warning: Using 'initgroups' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking # and many alike warnings ... ../ui/curses.o: In function `curses_cursor_position': /home/vadim/soft/qemu/ui/curses.c:137: undefined reference to `COLS' /home/vadim/soft/qemu/ui/curses.c:137: undefined reference to `LINES' /home/vadim/soft/qemu/ui/curses.c:138: undefined reference to `stdscr' /home/vadim/soft/qemu/ui/curses.c:139: undefined reference to `curs_set' ../ui/curses.o: In function `curses_calc_pad': /home/vadim/soft/qemu/ui/curses.c:68: undefined reference to `stdscr' /home/vadim/soft/qemu/ui/curses.c:69: undefined reference to `stdscr' ... and so on I tried to build the very minimal static qemu executable. Actual configure line I tried first was ../../configure --target-list=i386-softmmu --disable-sdl --disable-virtfs --disable-vnc --disable-xen --disable-brlapi --disable-bluez --disable-slirp --disable-kvm --disable-user --disable-vde --disable-vhost-net --disable-spice --disable-libiscsi --disable-smartcard --disable-usb-redir --disable-guest-agent --audio-drv-list= --audio-card-list= --enable-curses --static and the errors was the same.
