Re: [Qemu-devel] cannot build qemu with "--static" configure option

[Mr Dash Four]

It would indicate a missing libssl3, but the library, as far as I can
see, is there! When I try building this without the "--static" option
all is well - the build succeeds without any hitches. What could be the
problem with this, what am I missing?

Perhaps you lack a static version of the library.
What do you mean by that? The *.la files? I wasn't aware that there are 
any...
