Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH v6 2/6] package/kvm-unit-tests: update dependencies
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 10:55:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225105537.1420002-3-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225105537.1420002-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>
To run the tests we need a system QEMU, timeout, getconf and nmap-ncat
so update the select/depends for them. As we need at least GCC 8 we
can drop the specific requirement for old x86-64 tests.

v2
- remove old gcc notes as we need at least 8 anyway
- select QEMU and other runtime deps
- mention the runtime deps
- add support for getconf from external toolchain
- update comment fallback
v5
- keep i386/x86-64 target/host comments
- add !BR2_PACKAGE_QEMU_ARCH_SUPPORTS_TARGET to comment deps
