...h option, I think. Correct, using that option you can disable libvirtd which should reduce some dependencies but there is no option to disable virsh. We can possibly introduce an option to disable libvirt clients but that would save you only readline as a dependency which you can disable by using -Dreadline=disabled . If you want to do a minimal build of libvirt you can run meson with --auto-features=disabled which will disable most of the features and you can explicitly enable only the things that you want to use (this is what most distributions are doing when building packages). I just noticed that...

Hello there, I'm trying to play with musl and libvirt to see if I'm able to build a libvirt client binary without dynamic lib dependencies. I have two questions: 1) to your knowledge, is this exercise futile? 2) Do you know if there is a way to *only* compile the library bits? I want to reduce the number of dependencies in the build, and only construct the libvirt libraries, not
