also running make mgnt.static before make mgmt results in

seems mgmt.static doesn't build these targets before building. Generating: lexer... Generating: parser... Generating: type kind strings... Generating: funcs...

seems mgmt.static doesn't build these targets before building.

Woops, I guess nobody added those deps. I didn't add the mgmt.static target, and I forget who did and why, and well, it's not getting tested. If you care about keeping it working, please add a short test in /test/. Otherwise it's best effort, sorry.

As for /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvirt-qemu and so on, sounds like you might be missing the libvirt-devel headers? It's listed in misc/make-deps.sh If you want to skip libvirt, there is: https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/blob/master/docs/development.md search for novirt.

not to worry, compiling the dynamically linked executable seems ok. I was only exploring "make mgmt.static" as work around to the dynamically link binary failing to compile.
