There are fork() calls in the code, so this package might need a BR2_USE_MMU 
dependency.

Please use the github helper. See 
http://nightly.buildroot.org/manual.html#github-download-url.

> +SIMH_LICENSE = simh license

Looking into a random source file like sim_imd.c, the license seems to be MIT. 
See https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

> +SIMH_LICENSE_FILES = README

I couldn't find this file in the source.

Ok, I'll add that

Most files have a MIT-license/disclaimer, a few files reference GNU GPL 
(Intel-Systems/common/i8088.c), at least one file is paritally 
zlib/libpng license (sim_video.c, line 102), one file is "licensed under 
the standard SimH license" (PDP11/pdp11_kmc.c), which seems to be MIT.

There's a Word .doc file doc/simh.doc that states:

COPYRIGHT NOTICE: The following copyright notice applies to the SIMH 
source, binary, and documentation (an then: MIT license)

An older PDF version is online:
http://simh.trailing-edge.com/pdf/simh_doc.pdf

Should I point to the simh.doc file?

Hi Lothar,

As Yann marked this patch as rejected, this discussion is moot. But I'll 
respond below for future reference.

In this case <PKG>_LICENSE should list all these licenses.

I don't think so. Not sure how our legal info infra handles binary document 
formats. Instead you may put source files that contain respective licenses 
text in <PKG>_LICENSE_FILES.

Yes.

FOO_LICENSE_FILES are just copied; we don't do anything with them. So
it's fine to list a .doc in there.

Only for those licenses that do not have a separate license file, or are
not listed in that .doc file.

Not quite true: we generate a big .txt file with the concatenation of
the license text of all packages, see licenses.txt and
host-licenses.txt.

Indeed, I had forgotten about that...

Then, it that case, I think it would be better not to list the doc file
in SIMH_LICENSE_FILES at all.

Still, we'd want it to be copied, so maybe that could be done with a
post legal-info hook, something like (untested):

    define SIMH_LEGAL_INFO_DOC_FILE
        $(INSTALL) -m 0644 -D $(@D)/path/to/license.doc \
            $(LICENSE_FILES_DIR_TARGET)/simh-$(SIMH_VERSION)/license.doc
    endef
    SIMH_POST_LEGAL_INFO_HOOKS += SIMH_LEGAL_INFO_DOC_FILE

Lothar, All,

> 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.
