=46rom what I can see all paths in OE/bitbake are absolute paths. This make=
s it=20
difficult to move an OE build directory to another location.

Questions:

=2D which paths in which files do I need to change to move an entire build=
=20
directory? (conf files of course, any other files?)

=2D Is it possible to set up an OE build directory based on relative paths?

=2D If the 2nd question was answered with no, are there any plans to enable=
=20
OE/bitbake to be able to handle an entire build directory with relative=20
paths?

many thanks

Chris
