[poky] Dependency problem

[Koeller, Thomas]

Hello all,

I have been struggling with a problem for a couple of days now, without success so far. Hope somebody on this list can help.

I have two recipes, let's call them recipe_a and recipe_b (I am not allowed to share the actual recipes for legal reasons). recipe_a depends on recipe b; there is a line reading 'DEPENDS = "... recipe_b ..." in recipe_a.bb. Whenever I invoke recipe_b directly (bitbake recipe_b), all is well and recipe_b produces the expected results. In particular, the populate_sysroot task places a number of header files in the sysroot directory. If, however, I do 'bitbake recipe_a', I find that, while several tasks from recipe_b are executed, populate_sysroot is obviously not among them. I should probably mention that recipe_b inherits from the qprebuilt class.

I noticed that recipe_a sets a variable 'PREBUILT = "1"', which does not appear to be used anywhere and is not mentioned in the yocto docs. Maybe this has something to do with the problem, or maybe not.

I'd be grateful for any information that might be useful in solving this problem.

Thanks,
Thomas
