configure: error: *** POSIX caps library not found

在交叉编译systemd的时候，遇到上面的报错。

步骤是这样的：

export CFLAGS="-I/home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap/include"

export LDFLAGS="-L/home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap"

./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi

错误如下：

checking for linux/vm_sockets.h... yes
checking for library containing clock_gettime... none required
checking for library containing cap_init... no
configure: error: *** POSIX caps library not found

可是，caps 库文件是存在的：

$ ls /home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap/libcap.*
/home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap/libcap.a
/home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap/libcap.h
/home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap/libcap.pc
/home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap/libcap.pc.in
/home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap/libcap.so
/home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap/libcap.so.2
/home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap/libcap.so.2.24

看一下 config.log，里面有这样的错误：

configure:16664: result: no
configure:16671: error: *** POSIX caps library not found

 

原来，错误的原因是没有加上 -lattr.

修改如下：

export LDFLAGS="-L/home/charles/code/build_systemd/libcap2-2.24/libcap -L/home/charles/code/build_systemd/attr-2.4.47/libattr/.libs -lattr"

重新执行 configure,通过了。
