Variable Expansion: If the variable expansion syntax is used on a variable that does not exist, the string is kept as is. For example, if FOO does not exist, the following assignment will set BAR to the literal string "${FOO}": BAR = "${FOO}" Cheers, Ulf 64349 1 ulfalizer 2016-07-22 13:51:47 +0000 Version 2: If the variable expansion syntax is used on a variable that does not exist, the string is kept as is. For example, if FOO does not exist, the following assignment will make BAR expand to the literal string "${FOO}": BAR = "${FOO}" 64350 2 ulfalizer 2016-07-22 13:57:46 +0000 Final version: If the variable expansion syntax is used on a variable that does not exist, the string is kept as is. For example, given the following assignment, BAR will expand to the literal string "${FOO}" as long as FOO does not exist. BAR = "${FOO}" 64360 3 srifenbark 2016-07-22 15:38:41 +0000 Ulf, See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#variable-expansion for the new addition.
