--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> 2015-09-23 13:07:36 UTC ---
Thanks for your report!

It is not really libevent that fails to build, it's automake that uses some
Perl modules that are not available on your system. On Debian/Ubuntu, the
Thread/Queue.pm module is part of the perl-modules package which I believe is
virtually installed on all Debian/Ubuntu systems.

Which distribution are you using? Does it have a package providing
Thread/Queue.pm?

We should probably add a check in our dependencies for this perl module to be
available (I don't think we want to make host-perl a dependency of
host-automake).

Thanks! We are anyway working on an improvement to Buildroot that will verify
that this Perl module is installed, and if not, Buildroot will error out
earlier and with a clearer error message.
