Undefined symbol errors trying to link with static libraries (libnss)

[graceful pine]

I'd recommend using addObjectFile rather than addLibraryPath+linkSystemLibrary for adding static libraries from a fixed location

(it's a misleading name, it'll work for both object files and static libraries)

I tried that first but I had the same problem

could it be an issue with libnss_static.a?

[graceful pine]

Yeah I didn't expect that to fix it, it should be equivalent :)

nm will show symbols the library depends on, as well as ones it defines

The U here means "undefined"

So you need a different library that does define them

i'll run it on my output dir from nss

I copied some library files over but probably missed some

[graceful pine]

run what?

[narrow furnace]

nm*

[graceful pine]

oh right

[narrow furnace]

and check the symbols are defined somewhere

[graceful pine]

Yeah any static library in the output directory should probably be copied over into your deps dir

And linked to your zig program

[narrow furnace]

theres a lot of static libs there
