Re: [yocto] Environmental variable present in do_compile() {}, bitbake recipe -e, but is missing from do_configure() {} #bitbake

Okay, maybe one more question for the next poor soul that has the same-ish issue

Why does this work:

*** Prior to bitbake ***

export ABC="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
export BB_ENV_PASSTHROUGH_ADDITIONS="$BB_ENV_PASSTHROUGH_ADDITIONS ABC"

*** bitbake recipe ***
....
do_configure () {
export ABC=${ABC} && cmake_do_configure } <<<--- Obviously referencing and seeing ${ABC}
....

CMAKE configures and compiles successfully

but this doesn't

*** bitbake recipe ***
....
do_configure () {
cmake_do_configure <<<---  ${ABC} doesn't make it to cmake
}
....

*** cmakelists.txt ***

if ( NOT DEFINED ENV{ABC})
message (FATAL_ERROR "Undefined environmental variable: ABC \n " )
endif ()

*** bitbake output ***
....
| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_configure
....

*** cmake output ***
| CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:12 (message):
|   Undefined environmental variable: ABC

Even doing something like the following makes it visible to CMAKE

SOME_VAR = "${ABC}"
do_configure () {
export ABC=${SOME_VAR} && cmake_do_configure
}
