Subject: bblayers.conf is required?
Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2012 07:03:42 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F82DE2E.30208@mlbassoc.com> (raw)

The config file conf/bblayers.conf seems to be required:
   $ bitbake core-image-minimal
   Unable to find conf/bblayers.conf
   BitBake must be run from within your build directory: /home/local/p60_poky

but the bitbake documentation says otherwise:
                 <para>BitBake will first search the current working directory for an optional "conf/bblayers.conf" configuration file. This file is expected to contain a BBLAYERS 
variable which is a space delimited list of 'layer' directories. For each directory in this list, a "conf/layer.conf" file will be searched for and parsed with the LAYERDIR 
variable being set to the directory where the layer was found. The idea is these files will setup BBPATH and other variables correctly for a given build directory automatically for 
the user.</para>

Maybe the documentation should just read "required" instead of "optional"?
