Some simulators depend on external packages to provide the full scope of functionality they may be simulating. These additional external packages may or may not be included in as part of the standard Operating System distributions. Some simulators depend on external packages to provide the full scope of
functionality they may be simulating. These additional external packages
may or may not be included in as part of the standard Operating System
distributions. If simulators are being built that could provide more
functionality than the currently installed packages will provide, the build
will succeed with reduced functionality (i.e. limited network or no video
support), but suggestions will be provided as to what could provide full
functionality.
