[Qemu-devel] [patch] fix for broken build due to nonblocking IO

2005-10-04 Thread John Coiner
Here are two new patches, which attempt to fix the QEMU build for the dependency on pthreads introduced by nonblocking IO. They are on the nonblocking IO page: http://people.brandeis.edu/~jcoiner/qemu_idedma/qemu_dma_patch.html#install The first is a quick fix to the QEMU's 'configure' scrip
