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

[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.

Title:
  improve configure error message "ERROR: User requested feature nptl"

Status in QEMU:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
