Hi,
I am writing a recipe to build a driver specific for my BSP.
The driver needs a bunch of environmental variables to be set ( specific to driver only ) to build.
Right now to move forward I am doing like below in my recipe to build it.
export AAA = "${S}"
export BBB = "${B}"
export CCC = "{S}/build-system"
export DDD = "{S}/env-files"
Is this right way to do? Are there any other ways to set the environment variables inside a recipe?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
Kishore.

This is valid; I would recommend setting them within the function though (e.g.
do_configure) rather than at the recipe level, assuming that works for your
case.
Cheers,

If I set outside the do_configure it builds fine.
But If I do inside
do_confiugre() {
export AAA = "${S}"
export BBB = "${B}"
export CCC = "{S}/build-system"
export DDD = "{S}/env-files"
}
run.do_configure.20832: line 78: export: `=': not a valid identifier
NOTE: task do_configure: Failed
Is the syntax wrong here? What is the correct syntax?
Thanks
Kishore.

pretty sure you can't have spaces around the "=".

Yes, the spaces was an issue.
Works fine now.
Thanks
