Unable to build 4.3.0-RC1 from sources on F19

And the issue appears to relate to missing static libraries on my system:

I did then install (previously unneeded) static versions of libxml2, libssl, libcrypto... the problem is that Fedora 19 does not appear to have any RPM package providing a static version of liblzma (apart from the mingw libs, which I'd assume do not apply on a native Linux host).

Any tips welcome...

Add the following to your LocalConfig.kmk & see if that helps.

Code: Select all

VBOX_WITH_TESTCASES := 
VBOX_WITH_TESTSUITE :=

Yes, that does indeed help. Thanks Perryg !
