just noticed that the standard call to base_set_filespath() adds two entries of the top-level directory if you're doing a distroless build. you can see this with bitbake-env:
FILESPATH="/home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap-6.0/arm /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap-6.0/am180x-evm /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap-6.0/armv5 /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap-6.0/omapl138 /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap-6.0/ /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap-6.0/ /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap/arm /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap/am180x-evm /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap/armv5 /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap/omapl138 /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap/ /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/portmap/ /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/files/arm /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/files/am180x-evm /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/files/armv5 /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/files/omapl138 /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/files/ /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/portmap/files/" note the unnecessary duplication of the top-level directories for this example using (randomly) portmap -- the directories portmap-6.0/, portmap/ and files/. that's because of this code in that routine: overrides = ((d.getVar("FILESOVERRIDES", True) or "") + ":").split(":") for p in path: if p != "": for o in overrides: filespath.append(os.path.join(p, o)) and the fact that, if you don't set a DISTRO, what you're using is: $ bitbake-env -r portmap FILESOVERRIDES Parsing recipes..done. # FILESOVERRIDES="${TRANSLATED_TARGET_ARCH}:${MACHINEOVERRIDES}:${DISTROOVERRIDES}" FILESOVERRIDES="arm:am180x-evm:armv5:omapl138:" where you can see that ${DISTROOVERRIDES} is unset and thus gives you a null entry, to which the routine adds a *second* (superfluous) null entry. not fatal, just unnecessary. rday p.s. by the way, on the topic of FILESPATH, this doesn't look right: $ grep -r FILESEXTRAPATHS_append * meta/recipes-graphics/mesa/mesa-common.inc:FILESEXTRAPATHS_append := "${THISDIR}/mesa:" $ shouldn't that be "_prepend"? should i submit a patch? _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
