Description Volker 2014-07-07 21:31:44 UTC 
The following line is a new setting in local.conf:
---
# Qemu configuration                                                            
[...]
PACKAGECONFIG_pn-qemu-native = "sdl"                                            
PACKAGECONFIG_pn-nativesdk-qemu = "sdl"
ASSUME_PROVIDED += "libsdl-native"  
---

Build systems often don't have libsdl installed. As result that ASSUME_PROVIDED line can breaks builds.

I am not sure if:
1. this check should be run if no qemu image is created
2. if it should be set by default


I don't know if this is a bug or a feature. A quick google showed that at least another build system had this problem, too. This ticket might therfore be closed as "WONT FIX" or similar.
Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2014-07-10 14:39:51 UTC 
If the build system doesn't libsdl, you can customize local.conf to state that. We don't want to do this on a per machine basis since that would mean rebuilding qemu-native each time. I therefore believe the current situation is correct and we're not planning to change this.
