[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1777252] Re: tests/Makefile.include trying to add linking library '-lutil' that break the build on Solaris

[Thomas Huth]

I'm sorry, but Solaris is currently unsupported and might get removed in
a future release, see:

 https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.12#Warning:_unsupported_host_systems

So it would be great if you could contribute patches, or find someone
who's willing to maintain QEMU on Solaris.

Title:
  tests/Makefile.include trying to add linking library '-lutil' that
  break the build on Solaris

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Building script 'tests/Makefile.include' contains following code
  ```
  ifeq ($(CONFIG_POSIX),y)
  LIBS += -lutil
  endif
  ```

  library -lutil is not available on Solaris, so the building will failed, like
  ```
  ld: fatal: library -lutil: not found
  make: *** [SOMEWHERE/src/qemu-2.12.0/rules.mak:121: qemu-nbd] Error 1
  ```

  Commenting those code out fixed the error.
