I misspelled a bit, I was going to say "recipe B does not directly depend on pkgconfig, but rather through recipe A". What I meant by it was: I see recipe A as a blackbox which is supposed to bring all its dependencies with it and it does, except binaries (why they are not here has already been cleared up by Alex). I was just thinking "If I didn't know what recipe A depends on, but only that my recipe B depends on A, I would never inherit pkgconfig as recipe B does not know about this dependency". But then again, I fully understand why dependencies on executables aren't transitive in Yocto. Aleksandar > > Ross
