bitbake DEPENDS problem

bitbake DEPENDS problem

[hallerHarry]

Hi,

I've got the below described minimalistic bitbake setup. There are two recipes where one recipe (mySecPkg.bb) DEPENDS on the other (myPkg.bb).
According to the OpenEmbedded User Manual [1] and the Yocto Pokey Manual Section 2.3 [2] I would have expected if I run build against mySecPkg that bitbake obeys inter-package dependencies and also builds myPkg since mySecPkg DEPENDS on it.
But this is not the case. Bitbake only builds mySecPkg. Is there something wrong with my assumption or setup? I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on that.

Thanks in advance for any assistance provided!

You've not added any information about what DEPENDS means. Try adding
something like:

do_build[deptask] = "do_build"

to myBaseClass.bbclass which will then cause it to look at DEPENDS for
the do_build task.

Cheers,
