Qt 5.11 static on Linux, network problem

luca

Hi all,
I built Qt 5.11 for linux statically with:

./configure -static -release -openssl-linked -no-xcb -nomake tests -nomake examples -skip qtwebengine -prefix /opt/qt5111-static -no-opengl

It built without problem and I can build my app using the static Qt but I have problems when the application try to connect to remote server using:

QTcpSocket::connectToHost()

the application crashes while it works fine using dynamic Qt link version.
Running the app with gdb I get:

[2018-07-17 17:19:11] Debug:    QAbstractSocket::HostLookupState
[New Thread 0x7ffff6d65700 (LWP 11891)]

Thread 3 "Thread (pooled)" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

158     inet_addr.c: No such file or directory.

It seems static Qt version doesn't link correctly some network system library.

Where do I wrong?

Thanks

EDIT:
it seems that using an ip address works fine while using a "name" doesn't works. (with static Qt)

Hi,

Did you check with ldd if you have something unusual ?
What do you have in the plugins folder of your static Qt build ?

Hi,
I don't think it's related to plugins because it works if I try to connect to a server using an IP address while it crashes if I tra to connect using a server name (for example www.google.it) .
Being a static build, ldd give me no result as expected.

I'm considering it could be a BUG but I'd like to be sure before creating an issue on bugreport.

I'm thinking about the bearer plugin that might have an influence.

I've opened an issue because I found a way to reproduce the problem.
