[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1431084] [NEW] improve configure error message "ERROR: User requested feature nptl"

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1431084] [NEW] improve configure error message "ERROR: User requested feature nptl"

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Public bug reported:

Running `./configure` on Ubuntu 14.10 amd64 with Linux 3.19.1 causes the
error

    ERROR: User requested feature nptl
           configure was not able to find it.
           Install glibc and linux kernel headers.

Both linux kernel headers and `libglib2.0-dev` are installed in my case,
so the error message definitely misses a point and is at least confusing
and should either omit the hint if the recommended dependencies are
already installed or - better - give one that fixes the issue.

[Peter Maydell]

You say "Both linux kernel headers and `libglib2.0-dev` are installed",
but the error message says "Install glibc and linux kernel headers".
"glibc" is not "libglib". I suspect you didn't have what on Ubuntu is
the "libc6-dev" package. Unfortunately it's difficult to be specific in
these error messages, because different distros call their dev packages
by different names.
