In this case, a package for libfoo would have to be available and added to DEPENDS. This is not applicable for modern- syslog.

Good idea, but we need to balance the complexity of adding another tool vs. figuring this out with npm. Back to the problem. I have re-created the statsd build failure, and agree with your diagnosis, but don't have am immediate solution. I have opened a bug #10760, and added you to CC list. Let's use this bug to communicate from hereon. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10760 Henry -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
