Perhaps create a bbclass for this that can be globally inherited in local.conf? I ran into a similar thing with gnuradio and had to drop PARALLEL_MAKE to get the build to complete with my amount of RAM+swap. Something like "lean-build.bbclass" that handles known issues for systems with limited memory. Would variables like LDFLAGS_webkit-gtk and PARALLEL_MAKE_gnuradio be applied to the appropriate recipes if they were set in local.conf or a globally inherited bbclass, or am I misunderstanding how bitbake parses variables? -- Paul Barker Email: p...@paulbarker.me.uk http://www.paulbarker.me.uk _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
