Hi Bill, Sorry that i just notice this email, sorry for the late reply. I made this patch based on the following two points: 1. Please see commit 467eb93f and 84a39786, there has the following code in files automake_1.15.bb and autoconf.inc: CACHED_CONFIGUREVARS += "ac_cv_path_PERL=${USRBINPATH}/perl" 2. The familiar modifications for other files are accepted by oe-core, like gobject-introspection groff texi2html quilt and so on...
