gettext.bb question

[Chris Tapp]

Looking at gettext_0.18.1.1.bb in 7.0.0 I see:

PROVIDES = "virtual/libintl virtual/gettext"
PROVIDES_virtclass-native = "virtual/gettext-native"

makes sense so far. However, I also see:

DEPENDS = "libxml2-native gettext-native virtual/libiconv ncurses expat"
DEPENDS_virtclass-native = "libxml2-native gettext-minimal-native"

What does -native in the DEPENDS= 'do' here?

It sets the DEPENDS correctly for the gettext-native build, gettext uses 
BB_CLASSEXTEND and that would normally look at the DEPENDS line and 
automagically add -native to that list, we don't want to do that in this 
case so it's hard coded.

there is a bit of optimization here to parallelize the build where
gettext-minimal-native is now used otherwise
gettext becomes serialization point for build

You should also look at gettext.bbclass when you are
looking into understanding gettext dependencies

Thanks Khem / Saul,

That makes sense.
