History

Josef Söntgen a838b6a657 noux: add local nanosleep(2) and sleep(3) Up to now Noux used the libc sleep functions, which actually is not possible because the _nanosleep() function implemented by our libc creates a new thread to handle the timeout. Noux childs may have only one thread, e.g., the main thread, though. To fix this issue sleeping is now handled directly by Noux. It is implemented by calling select(2) with a timeout. This fix is needed for mutt(1), which calls sleep when it prints a notification for the user. Fixes #1374.		2015-02-16 13:40:35 +01:00

README

This directory contains ports of popular 3rd-party applications to Genode.

The 'ports' repository follows the line of the 'libports' repository.
For instructions about downloading and building 3rd-party applications,
please refer to 'libports/README'.


Dependencies from other repositories
------------------------------------

Application provided by the 'ports' repository typically expect a rich
runtime environment, including shared libraries provided by the 'libports'
repository. Hence, 'ports' depends on 'libports'. Furthermore, applications
may require additional repositories. For example, the Arora web browser depends
on the 'qt4' repository.
