X-BeenThere: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.11 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:12:59 -0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 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: 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. Maybe the documentation should just read "required" instead of "optional"? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
