Just some of them are. I'm guessing that the .bb in the meta/recipe-sato named core-image-sato.bb is the one that is used to start the parsing if bitbake core-image-sato is executed. > I originally thought all subdirectories of a path included in BBLAYER were parsed looking for .bb files, but now I know that is not true, but not sure why. > > For example, it does not appear that webkit is included in the core-image-sato even though the recipe-sato directory includes the webkit subdirectory with it's recipe. What would be the proper way of adding the webkit to core-image-sato?? The 'webkit' is just a library used to build tools such as a web browser. You might want to start with an application that actually uses webkit, such as web-webkit. To build an image which includes web-webkit, add this line to your local.conf file and rebuild the image: IMAGE_INSTALL += "web-webkit" You can also build packages which are not installed into your image by default and use a package manager (e.g. zypper) to install the package later onto a running system. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
