Duplicate symbol: blake2b when linking with libsodium

[Mesrine]

Hi,

I have developed a library that use "QbyteArray" from Qt and also libsodium functions like "crypto_sign_seed_keypair".

When compiling to wasm the library builds.
But when compiling an executable that depends on the library and call functions that will call "crypto_sign_seed_keypair"(of libsodium) the linker complains about duplicate symbols.
Specifically, when doing make step:

make

It seems that both static libraries qt6Core and libsodium use the same blake2b source codes.
I need both libraries(qt6Core and libsodium) in my library.
But I do not need to link to qcryptographichash.cpp.o object.
How can i neglect this object when linking using emscripten?
I use cmake.

I will much appreciate if some one advise me on how to resolve this.
Thanks for your time.

I noticed that ed25519 do not need blake2b. A temporal solution was to remove the object "libsodium_la-blake2b-ref.o" from libsodium.a by using

 ar dv libsodium.a libsodium_la-blake2b-ref.o

I can not remove "qcryptographichash.cpp.o" from libQt6Core.a because I use that on other libraries.
