quickjs: compilation using qjsc fails with gcc: error: /usr/lib/quickjs/libquickjs.a: No such file or directory

[ackalker]

System

• xuname:
  Void 5.13.19_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrrrmdFFFFFFF
• package:
  quickjs-2021.03.27_2

Expected behavior

qjsc <file.js> should successfully compile a JavaScript script or module into a self-contained executable

Actual behavior

Compilation fails with the following error:

gcc: error: /usr/lib/quickjs/libquickjs.a: No such file or directory

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Ensure that both quickjs and quickjs-devel packages are installed
2. Create a small JS file for testing: echo 'console.log("Hello, world!")' > hello.js
3. Try and compile using qjsc: qjsc hello.js

Analysis

Neither the quickjs nor the quickjs-devel package contains the file mentioned in the error message. quickjs-devel does contain a file /usr/lib/libquickjs.a (note the missing intermediate directory quickjs).
