Note that user may request more than one variable with single bitbake invocation. E.g.: bitbake -V TMPDIR -V DEPLOY_DIR In this case better to prefix variable value with name, like set does: TMPDIR=/path/to/tmpdir DEPLOY_DIR=/path/to/deploydir -- Yury Bushmelev _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
