From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Peter Korsgaard Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2013 19:39:09 +0100 Subject: [Buildroot] [git commit] rt-tests: mention that NPTL thread implementation is needed Message-ID: <20130324194035.759609B28F@busybox.osuosl.org> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=a22a21c76f36b87a1823df05518b1b55c457e127 branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master This patch superseds http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/150161/, but does it in a different way. Since we don't have a way of selecting the thread implementation for external toolchains, and it sounds a bit too heavy to add new config options just for the sake of rt-tests, we instead simply add some help text to the rt-tests package explaining that NPTL thread implementation is needed.
