[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/simh: new package

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Lothar, All,

On 2016-08-15 23:42 +0200, Lothar Felten spake thusly:
> This package provides the simh multi-system emulator.

As discussed on IRC, there are too many issues with this package.

For example, it does not support cross-compilation at all; its Makefile
is so borked that it looks for build system libs and headers; it also
searches the build system for necessary programs.

I can't see an easy solution to use that package as-is to make it
behave properly (if at all). It does not seem it would be overly complex
to rewrite a buildsystem for it from scratch, using one of the usual
buildsystems: autotools or cmake for example.

Until then, and according to our discussion on IRC I've marked this
patch as rejected in our patchwork.

Thanks!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
