[OE-core] Fwd: Recipe [patch] modification to generate a static library instead of shared library

[Ravi chandra reddy]

Hi,
       in local/local.conf it [bitbake core-image-minimal] fails, if i use
libxml2-staticdev

  # Specify the 32-bit libraries to be added to all images
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++ libedit
libxml2-staticdev"

================================== i get the following
errors==================================
ERROR: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Function failed: do_rootfs
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in:
/home/polar/zcu_yocto/poky/build/tmp/work/zcu102_zynqmp-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.17721
ERROR: Task 9 (/home/polar/zcu_yocto/poky/meta/recipes-core/images/
core-image-minimal.bb, do_rootfs) failed with exit code '1'
NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 2144 tasks of which 2143 didn't need to be
rerun and 1 failed.
===================================

if i use as below, there is no issue. however there is no .so

# Specify the 32-bit libraries to be added to all images
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++ libedit
libxml2"

i ran

bitbake -e | grep static-libs

and all the "no-static-libs.inc" are commented [#]

Thanks
RC
