I found out that completely removing the object directory and
recreating it from scratch helps. This sucks bisectability-wise, is
there any way to avoid it?

There is still one problem, tools need config-host.h but the
dependencies are not correct:
  CC    qemu-nbd.o

/src/qemu/qemu-common.h:32:25: error: config-host.h: No such file or directory

Sounds as if configure was not re-run and thus $(HWDIR) not set in  
config-target.mak. No idea why, more likely a general issue.
Do you have a way to reproduce? What about `make clean` or `make  
distclean`?

Fix coming up. Basically, $(GENERATED_HEADERS) were previously used on  
_all_ object files via rules.mak. That does not work when referencing  
objects from another Makefile, so the modelling needs to be done  
explicitly.

Strange, now that I try to reproduce it with a new directory,
everything works. Also my normal compile directory does not show the
problem anymore. Maybe there were some old files lying around.

OK. Since there have been no objections, I'd like to apply this soon.

That would be very much appreciated.

I have not tested bsd-user. Could you please check that on your BSD  
setup?

Thanks,

Seems to work, as do Milax and mingw32.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] Drop --whole-archive and static libraries

[Andreas Färber]

From: Andreas Färber <afaerber@opensolaris.org>

Juan has contributed a cool Makefile infrastructure that enables us to drop
static libraries completely:

Move shared obj-y definitions to Makefile.objs, prefixed {common-,hw-,user-},
and link those object files directly into the executables.

Replace HWLIB by HWDIR, specifying only the directory.

Drop --whole-archive and ARLIBS in Makefiles and configure.

Drop GENERATED_HEADERS dependency in rules.mak, since this rebuilds all
common objects after generating a target-specific header; add dependency
rules to Makefile and Makefile.target instead.

v2:
- Don't try to include /config.mak for user emulators
- Changes to user object paths ("Quickfix for libuser.a drop") were obsoleted
  by "user_only: compile everything with -fpie" (Kirill A. Shutemov)

v3:
- Fix dependency modelling for tools
- Remove comment on GENERATED_HEADERS obsoleted by this patch

Removing libqemu.a was technically ok, but throws a license problem:

"In particular, the QEMU virtual CPU core library (libqemu.a) is
released under the GNU Lesser General Public License."

Without libqemu.a, this part of QEMU's license no longer works.

I think the best solution would be to add a rule for libqemu.a
which allows users to build this static library (make libqemu.a).

libqemu.a is also still needed for tests/qruncom.

Every file contains a copyright/license.  The statement in the top level 
is just a statement of intention.  It's to make sure that people do not 
introduce GPL'd code into libqemu.a.

./configure --target-list=i386-linux-user,i386-softmmu
make -j7

And:

find . -name 'lib*a'

finds nothing, so how can you say what is supposed to be
in libqemu?

I noticed it also.  Not sure how to go here.  Create libqemu.a even if
it is not used?

And if GPL licencse is complicated, LGPL for a static lib makes my head explode.

We've had a handful of people inquire about LGPL licensing on this  
list, getting no answer: They complained that libqemu.a contained  
GPL'ed code and none of you cared, so that would seem a moot point and  
we should rather fix the licensing passage.

If libqemu.a is still used somewhere in the Makefiles, then obviously  
we have to fix it. Sorry if I missed something there.

Not sure how to go about re-providing a library either, we could  
theoretically add a target using our new infrastructure and leave our  
own executables as they are now, but that would re-introduce the  
original problems for any user with an incompatible tool chain, not to  
mention that someone would need to test such a library target.

What we need to do is audit the code base for any file that doesn't 
carry an explicit copyright notice, and have the author(s) add explicit 
copyright/license statements to it.  This top level file is not a valid 
copyright statement IMHO in particular because it deals with things like 
"libqemu.a" which is poorly defined.

My understanding of LICENSE is that it is purely an explanation, not a 
licensing statement.  It was added by Fabrice and it covers code in the 
tree that was there before he added it that he didn't hold the copyright 
on so it's not a very strong statement.

It was his desire that libqemu.a be LGPL, that does not mean that it 
actually is...

Hi,

as the previous patches this v3 version solves the linking problems on 
Solaris hosts

Hi,

I have succesfully used the v2 patch on my OpenSolaris/SPARC host and it 
seems to fix the Solaris linking issue.
