Hi all,

I'm just curious that qemu-config RDPENDS on distcc:

meta/recipes-bsp/qemu-config/qemu-config.bb:RDEPENDS_${PN} = "distcc ..."

And there are 4 processes named "distcc" running after boot the target with "runqemu qemux86".

We have distcc on the target, but no gcc or g++, can we remove it from qemu-config's RDEPENDS?

I think the idea was that if you wanted to do compilation on the emulated target, having distcc would let you do it with much better performance. I agree it seems that it's not particularly useful if you're never going to do any compilation on the target though.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks for your reply, so may I send a pull request to remove it from qemu-config's RDPENDS?

I'll argue that qemu-config should be an image choice, not a machine choice :)

I'm sorry, but what does the "qemu-config should be an image choice, not a machine choice" mean, please?
