Hey Ajay,welcome to Unikraft! Sorry for being non-response for so long time. This should change now since the core Unikraft people (including me) are back to the project. In your application's Makefile.uk, you can try to add static libraries by appending them to the APPNAME_OBJS list. However, I would not do this with librt.a and libpthread.a. The libraries you selected expect a Linux system call interface being available to reach functionality provided by the kernel. We obviously do not have this on Unikraft, so the libraries wouldn't work (even if you might be able to create a binary with them). The functions of those libraries are usually provided by a libc. Wei is right that libnolibc - which is available in the tree - only provides a subset of libc functionality. But you could try using newlib instead: http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=unikraft/libs/newlib.git;a=summaryThis port uses calls to the Unikraft API directly instead of using system calls. For instance, pthread_create() is going to call uk_sched_thread_create() in libuksched. Please note that we have a patch series pending that enhances scheduling functionality in Unikraft. There will be another patch series upcoming that does integrate those changes to newlib. So, the current state might not work yet for you, you may need to check again in two weeks.
