Ah - thank you! It's very clear now. Yes I think the formatting will make it more clear. Examples also help :)
Something's still not working the way I'm expecting, though. According to this <http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-classes-externalsrc> : "...this class expects the source code to support recipe builds that use the B <http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-B> variable to point to the directory in which the OpenEmbedded build system places the generated objects built from the recipes." In my recipe, I have not set EXTERNALSRC_BUILD, so B is the default output directory I'm expecting. However, I'm still seeing generated objects show up in my source tree. Since I'm using automake, I see aclocal.m4, autom4te.cache, and other automake artifacts. Is there any way to get these to show up in my build tree after they've been generated and used by autotools? Alternatively, is there an easy way to remove particular newly-created artifacts from the source tree?
