Description ulfalizer 2016-07-18 08:23:39 UTC 
'8.1.5. do_configure' could be extended as follows to explain what the working directory and default behavior is:

  8.1.5. do_configure

  Configures the source by enabling and disabling any build-time and
  configuration options for the software being built. Runs with the current
  working directory set to ${B}.

  The default behavior of this task is to run 'oe_runmake clean' if a makefile
  ("Makefile", "make", or "GNUmakefile") is found and CLEANBROKEN is not set to
  "1", and doing nothing otherwise.

Hi Ulf, 

See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-tasks-configure and let me know of any further corrections.

Guess I forgot to actually change the state to RESOLOVED.  Done.
