Subject: configure: Test that gio libs from pkg-config work
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=76346b6264a9b01979829a5d4366c3799e2dd15a;p=qemu.git

configure: Test that gio libs from pkg-config work

On some hosts (eg Ubuntu Bionic) pkg-config returns a set of
libraries for gio-2.0 which don't actually work when compiling
statically. (Specifically, the returned library string includes
-lmount, but not -lblkid which -lmount depends upon, so linking
fails due to missing symbols.)

Check that the libraries work, and don't enable gio if they don't,
in the same way we do for gnutls.
