Description Antonin Godard 2025-01-15 09:28:36 UTC
In bitbake.conf we define BUILD_CC and other build variables, and it seems that only some of them are documented (for example, BUILD_CC is not documented, but BUILD_CC_ARCH is).
Add the missing documentation for these build variables.

hi, i think 'BUILD_CXX' is missing as well :)

Thanks! I'll have to closely check, I'm guessing there might be even more than that. :)

There are three variants of these: BUILD_CC, TARGET_CC, SDK.
I may have the wrong names but you get the idea.

Moving to 5.3 M4.

Patches sent on the list, almost ready for merging I would say:

These are now documented with commit: https://web.git.yoctoproject.org/yocto-docs/commit/?id=e42d49218945a030f300dbb608e7cfb0611f5733
And the following ones.
