http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/sdk-manual/sdk-manual.html#passing-host-options

There is a very useful note in "2.4.2 Passing Host Options" part of the SDK manual where an example is given for fixing an old configure that doesn't recognize --with-libtool-sysroot. I think OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT is not a good choice for aclocal though, in the usual case the correct sysroot would be the target sysroot.

In other words I believe the example aclocal call in the note should be:

     $ aclocal -I ${OECORE_TARGET_SYSROOT}/usr/share/aclocal \
        [-I dir_containing_your_project-specific_m4_macros]

Hi Jussi, 

Here is the change... http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/sdk-manual/sdk-manual.html#passing-host-options.

If good let me know.  I will update the status of the bug.

Yep, I believe that's (more often) correct. Thanks.

Thanks, 

I am setting the bug to RESOLVED and putting the doc flag to "done."

Comment 5 Ross Burton 2016-09-27 15:05:16 UTC

Sorry to re-open.  Can we change the list of commands in that section to be just:

$ autoreconf -i -f -I ${OECORE_TARGET_SYSROOT}/usr/share/aclocal -I ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr/share/aclocal [-I dir_containing_your_project-specific_m4_macros]

(one long line)

Ross, 

See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/sdk-manual/sdk-manual.html#passing-host-options for the change.  Let me know if this is okay and I will RESOLVE the bug again.

Moving to 2.3 M2

Comment 8 Scott Rifenbark 2016-11-08 17:41:34 UTC

I am setting this to RESOLVED and putting the doc flag to "done."  No further feedback after implementing Ross' suggestion.
