Running configure script up one dir

Running configure script up one dir

Hi all,

I hope that this is the right list for my question.  I'm trying to write a
bb recipe for Angstrom v2012_12 (BeagleBone Black) for the tDOM package
which uses autotools in a strange way (to me anyhow).  configure is
expected to be run from /(project root)/unix, like this:

cd (git checkout of project)/unix
../configure; make; make install

How do I get bitbake to run configure in this way?

Here's my bb file if it helps:

DESCRIPTION = "XML data processing in Tcl"
LICENSE = "MPL-1"
SECTION = "devel/tcltk"
HOMEPAGE = "http://tdom.github.io/"
DEPENDS = "tcl-native"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://../LICENSE;md5=4673aaff544d4c9b9a521cb8e0860bfb"
PR = "r0"

SRC_URI = "git://github.com/tDOM/tdom.git;protocol=git;tag=master"

S = "${WORKDIR}/git/unix"

inherit autotools

---

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Its really a question that should go to the openembedded-core list since
its about the metadata which is part of OE-Core.

It tricky to do but the freetype recipe in OE-Core shows one way of
handling this. 

Cheers,

Richard,

Thanks for the suggestion!  I'm getting somewhere now, but will post the
rest of my questions to the OE-Core mailing list.

Thanks!
