[Bug 1916655] Re: Compilation fails due to zstd qcow2 compression

[John Snow]

The upstream zstd library seems to still offer that function as of
1.4.9:

https://github.com/facebook/zstd/blob/dev/lib/zstd.h#L708

what exact version of the zstd package do you have installed (Is it an
Ubuntu package, a Fedora one? etc)

Can you verify that the version of the header you have installed for
zstd.h actually declares ZSTD_compressStream2() ?

Title:
  Compilation fails due to zstd qcow2 compression

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Compilation of QEMU fails when using recent versions of zstd.

  I use the following commands to compile QEMU:
  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ ../configure --enable-debug --target-list=x86_64-softmmu
  $ make -j $(nproc)

  Here is a paste from the ../configure output:
  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dHsWzGV7TH/

  And one from the make output:
  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/89qKk4NrFz/

  In short the error boils down to:
  ../block/qcow2-threads.c: In function ‘qcow2_zstd_compress’:
  ../block/qcow2-threads.c:225:16: error: implicit declaration of function 
‘ZSTD_compressStream2’; did you mean ‘ZSTD_compressStream’? 
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    225 |     zstd_ret = ZSTD_compressStream2(cctx, &output, &input, 
ZSTD_e_end);
