From 04187a845c86215da0e3ad680cdcf2fc7515b99a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2018 04:57:25 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] patman: Detect missing tools and report them When tools are needed but not present, at present we just get an error which can be confusing for the user. Try to be helpful by reporting the tool as missing and suggesting a possible remedy. Also update the Run() method to support this.
