I suggest adding the following to the end of '3.1.1. Basic Variable Setting': Instead of double quotes, single quotes can be used. This allows the value to contain double quotes: VARIABLE = 'I have a " in my value' Note { Unlike in Bourne shells, single quotes work identically to double quotes in all other ways. They do not suppress variable expansions. } Cheers, Ulf 66438 1 srifenbark 2016-09-21 21:06:09 +0000 Ulf, See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#basic-variable-setting Thanks, Scott 66455 2 ulfalizer 2016-09-22 04:16:20 +0000 "Double" should have been "double quote" in "doing so allows you to use values that contain the double character". Looks fine other than that. Cheers, Ulf 66529 3 srifenbark 2016-09-22 23:08:33 +0000 Ulf, Sorry about that .. Fixed. http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#basic-variable-setting. I am going to set to RESOLVED and put the doc flag to "done." Thanks, Scott
