[PATCH 1/4] README: Fix environment setup quick start

[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]



Following the old quick start information would not get a new user to run
tests with their configuration, because it was not accurate to how the check
script actually works.

By default, the script looks for *.config files in HOST_CONFIG_DIR, which
defaults to '.config' if unset. The README now reflects that.
