Description sameeh 2017-03-22 13:54:18 UTC 
I am trying to compile qemu-ga for Windows statically using the following commands:

./configure --disable-docs --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --cross-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32- --static --enable-guest-agent-msi --with-vss-sdk=/path/to/VSSSDK72

make -j8 qemu-ga

And I keep getting this error:
/home/sameeh/Builds/q/stubs/error-printf.c:7: undefined reference to `__imp_g_test_config_vars'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:444: recipe for target 'qemu-ga.exe' failed
make: *** [qemu-ga.exe] Error 1

Notes to consider:
* without --static I can compile it successfully
* Build machine is running Fedora 25
* I have upgraded all of the tools to their latest version
* If I comment out the function which is causing the issue (g_test_initialized()), qemu ga compiles statically and runs successfully without the need of any dlls.
Comment 1 sameeh 2017-03-22 13:56:52 UTC 
The issue was resolved by manually adding "-DGLIB_STATIC_COMPILATION", but I think this should be done automatically by pkg-config.
