Furthermore we could point out that a user can use the run.do_* files in temp to a) look at how the tasks are run by bitbake and b) run the commands exactly as bitbake does. i.e. if I'm in a devshell for connman in a build directory where connman has already built I can re-run the compilation steps by calling ../temp/run.do_compile 59204 1 joshuagloe 2016-02-18 15:42:30 +0000 Turns out a remarkably similar bug was filed a couple of days before this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 9114 *** 59223 2 srifenbark 2016-02-18 17:27:37 +0000 I set the doc flag to "No" here since it is a duplicate. 59768 3 bogdanx.a.voiculescu 2016-03-07 15:55:12 +0000 verified
