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. Scott Perfect. Marking this RESOLVED and Docs complete. Scott |
(This is just a niggling feeling I've got, so I've CC'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't like this because it'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.
