I didn't realize that ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr/bin/perl is just a wrapper script, sorry. So yes, the setup of the PERL5LIB environment variable should be done there. As is, the script appends $OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT//usr/lib/perl and OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT//usr/lib/perl/<version> [Note: the double slashes should be cleaned up.] Should the script not also append ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr/lib/perl/site_perl/<version> and ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr/lib/perl/vendor_perl/<version> ? 46771 4 wd 2014-11-05 19:26:03 +0000 While we are at it: is there a specific reason why meta/recipes-devtools/perl/perl_5.14.3.bb places "perl" before "perl/${PV}", while meta/recipes-devtools/perl/perl-native_5.14.3.bb places "perl/${PV}" before "perl"?

In what part of the recipes you see it? I already sent a patch that adds missing directories in do_install_append_class-nativesdk for perl recipe (not native one) it should be enough. 46785 6 wd 2014-11-06 09:53:23 +0000 (In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #4) > > While we are at it: is there a specific reason why > > meta/recipes-devtools/perl/perl_5.14.3.bb > > places "perl" before "perl/${PV}", while > > meta/recipes-devtools/perl/perl-native_5.14.3.bb > > places "perl/${PV}" before "perl"? > > > > I cannot see why such an inconsistency should be needed. > > Am I missing something? > > In what part of the recipes you see it?
