At the very least, bitbake should suggest this is not likely to do what you expected. 28259 1 corneliux.stoicescu 2012-12-13 17:16:39 +0000 Can you please give a more specific description of where you made the changes and the results obtained(a log file)? 28269 2 philip 2012-12-13 21:32:43 +0000 I made the changes in a custom image file. Try adding a line like this: # Some text \ Some line that should do something and build the recipe. The second line will be treated as a comment.\ I'm Crofton on irc if you want me to talk you through an example you can use in oe-core. 28293 3 richard.purdie 2012-12-14 13:54:02 +0000 Patch out for review on the bitbake-devel list. 28977 4 richard.purdie 2013-01-21 13:51:07 +0000 Fixed in master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=a5358511b1741e6abff1a8f5136f1c8662645fea (and preceeding patch) 30082 5 corneliux.stoicescu 2013-02-25 16:48:04 +0000 There is a coherent error message that suggests the line is commented out.
