Hi Robb, the buildpath issue is present on my system too. The generated files show: /* WARNING: This file is generated! * Do not edit this file, but edit /home/jaipaul/.../workspace/sources/doxygen/src/config.xml instead and run * python configgen.py -maph /home/jaipaul/.../workspace/sources/doxygen/src/config.xml to regenerate this file! */ All three files — configvalues.h, configvalues.cpp, and configoptions.cpp — have the build path included. The reason I missed it is that I used devtool upgrade and devtool build to build the recipe. devtool build only runs do_populate_sysroot and do_packagedata by default (hardcoded in scripts/lib/devtool/build.py), so do_package_qa never executed. A normal bitbake doxygen would have triggered do_build which depends on do_package_qa, catching the error. So, your patch is needed . Regards, Jaipaul
