Hello, I am trying to statically build latest version of powertop for x86_64 target, I see link time issue as: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnl-genl-3 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnl-3 The last verbose command line is: libtool: link: g++ -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fstack-protector -Wall -Wshadow -Wformat -I/usr/include/ncursesw -I/usr/include/libnl3 --static -o powertop parameters/powertop-persistent.o parameters/powertop-learn.o parameters/powertop-parameters.o powertop-display.o cpu/powertop-cpu_core.o cpu/powertop-cpudevice.o cpu/powertop-cpu.o cpu/powertop-cpu_linux.o cpu/powertop-abstract_cpu.o cpu/powertop-cpu_package.o cpu/powertop-intel_cpus.o powertop-devlist.o powertop-lib.o report/powertop-report.o process/powertop-process.o process/powertop-processdevice.o process/powertop-powerconsumer.o process/powertop-timer.o process/powertop-work.o process/powertop-do_process.o process/powertop-interrupt.o perf/powertop-perf.o perf/powertop-perf_bundle.o devices/powertop-i915-gpu.o devices/powertop-device.o devices/powertop-alsa.o devices/powertop-runtime_pm.o devices/powertop-thinkpad-fan.o devices/powertop-usb.o devices/powertop-ahci.o devices/powertop-thinkpad-light.o devices/powertop-rfkill.o devices/powertop-backlight.o devices/powertop-network.o tuning/powertop-bluetooth.o tuning/powertop-tuning.o tuning/powertop-tuningusb.o tuning/powertop-ethernet.o tuning/powertop-tunable.o tuning/powertop-iw.o tuning/powertop-wifi.o tuning/powertop-tuningsysfs.o tuning/powertop-runtime.o calibrate/powertop-calibrate.o measurement/powertop-measurement.o measurement/powertop-acpi.o measurement/powertop-sysfs.o measurement/powertop-extech.o report/powertop-report-maker.o report/powertop-report-formatter-base.o report/powertop-report-formatter-csv.o report/powertop-report-formatter-html.o report/powertop-report-data-html.o powertop-main.o cpu/powertop-intel_gpu.o cpu/rapl/powertop-rapl_interface.o cpu/powertop-cpu_rapl_device.o cpu/powertop-dram_rapl_device.o devices/powertop-gpu_rapl_device.o -lncursesw -lncurses -ltinfo -lpci -lnl-genl-3 -lnl-3 ../traceevent/.libs/libtraceevnet.a -lpthread Note: I have installed libnl-genl-3-200 libnl-genl-3-dev Configure options are: export CXXFLAGS="--static"; ./configure --prefix=${PWD}/__install_path --without-libintl-prefix --disable-nls I tried with --enable-static configure option as wll ============================================================================== configure:20146: checking for LIBNL configure:20153: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libnl-3.0 >= 3.0 libnl-genl-3.0 >= 3.0" configure:20156: $? = 0 configure:20170: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libnl-3.0 >= 3.0 libnl-genl-3.0 >= 3.0" configure:20173: $? = 0 configure:20637: result: yes ============================================================================== Any help to build this application statically will be helpful.
