I followed the example in package/opengl/libegl/libegl.mk, but I mixed the
Makefile control function $(error text...) and some Shell script without
thinking...

I will revert it to the pure shell version to be coherent.

With the <foo>_CONFIGURE_CMDS method, we go through all the dummy steps, and
this is very verbose:

  >>> udev undefined Extracting
  >>> udev undefined Patching
  >>> udev undefined Configuring
  echo "No Udev implementation selected. Configuration error."
  No Udev implementation selected. Configuration error.
  exit 1
  make: *** [/home/eric/build/elebihan/demo-systemd/arm/build/udev-undefined/.stamp_configured] Erreur 1

With the pure Makefile version, the error message is clearer:

  package/udev/udev.mk:11: *** No Udev implementation selected. Configuration error. Stop.

I find it better. If it suits everyone, I can propose a patch to convert all
the virtual packages to it and re-send my tutorial patch about virtual
package.

Best regards,
