    <thetext>(This is just a niggling feeling I&apos;ve got, so I&apos;ve CC&apos;d Paul for a second opinion)

The LIC_FILES_CHKSUM documentation shows you can use relative paths to get from $S to $WORKDIR.  I don&apos;t like this because it&apos;s assuming that $S is a direct descendent of $WORKDIR, which whilst true now (and for some time) could change.

A preferable and more explanatory example would be to use file://${WORKDIR}/foo to refer to a file in WORKDIR.</thetext>

    <thetext>Ross and Paul, 

Look at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.5/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#usingpoky-specifying-LIC_FILES_CHKSUM for an updated section where I have changed the example slightly. 

Let me know if this works.
