            Bug ID: 11856
           Summary: Busybox static build fails due to missing libtirpc
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2019.02.2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: pmorici at dev295.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

The busybox build fails if the CONFIG_STATIC option is selected in the busybox
config.  The failure is caused by a missing static library libtirpc.

The libtirpc package doesn't build a static version by default.  The
--enable-static option needs to be added to LIBTIRPC_CONF_OPTS in
package/libtirpc/libtirpc.mk

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> ---
This is not a bug. By default Buildroot has the option BR2_SHARED_LIBS=y, which
means "build only shared libraries, link everything dynamically".

If you set BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y instead, then only static libraries will be built,
and everything will be statically linked.

If you set BR2_SHARED_STATIC_LIBS=y, then both static and shared libraries will
be built (when possible: some sub-par build systems only allow building either
static or shared libs, not both), and programs will generally be linked
dynamically, unless their build system explicitly links statically.
