This leads me to believe that maybe I had some sort of database caching problem going on, since I had just back ported the recipe into my branch. > Where it still fails is from the command line: “bitbake ir-keytable” I don’t understand why this fails? The reason is that you bitbake , not the package name. The v4l-utils recipe creates, among other packages, the ir-keytable package. It works when you add it to IMAGE_INSTALL because that contains a list of packages, not recipes. > I’ve had similar problems with the sub-packages of the boost recipe, I can add it boost-program-options to a packagegroup or as a RDEPENDENCY but I can’t build it from the > command-line. > On the other hand I can build net-snmp-server from the command line, which is a sub-package of net-snmp recipe (interestingly there is no net-snmp package) > I looked at the recipes and they don’t seem all that different as far as how the packages are declared. > I’m really confused here can anyone enlighten me. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
