Add UNKNOWN_CONFIGURE_WHITELIST to the variable reference in the ref manual. The description should be something like: Specifies a list of options that, if reported by the configure script as being invalid, should not generate a warning during do_configure. Normally, invalid configure options should simply not be passed to the configure script at all (e.g. should be removed from EXTRA_OECONF), but there are for example common options we pass to all configure scripts at a class level that may not be valid for some configure scripts, and there is no benefit to seeing a warning about these - in which case they are added to UNKNOWN_CONFIGURE_WHITELIST.
My name is Ross Burton and I endorse Paul's proposed paragraph. Probably worth mentioning that the test is part of insane.bbclass, but only enabled if the recipe inherits autotools.bbclass.
Hi, Here is a link to the variable. Please review it and give me any feedback for corrections. I was a bit unsure about the part Ross added. Not sure what "test" really means here. So, the wording might need adjustment for that part. http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.9/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-UNKNOWN_CONFIGURE_WHITELIST Thanks, Scott
"test" meant the code that looks at the log output and uses WHITELIST. Maybe a clearer wording would be: "The configure arguments check that uses UNKNOWN_CONFIGURE_WHITELIST is part of the insane class [continue as before]". Apart from that, looks good, thanks Scott.
Ross, See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.9/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-UNKNOWN_CONFIGURE_WHITELIST for the change. Thanks, Scott
Looks good.
Thanks Ross, I am setting the doc flag to "done". Scott
