[oe] Problem using "bitbake"

[saleh usman]

I've set BBFILES in the local.conf file as   
 BBFILES = "${oe}/openembedded/recipes/images/helloworld-image.bb"
where oe is directory in which openembedded is placed. I've also tried helloworld-image.But it returned same messages.

I am just following the isntructions of Getting Started page and using helloworld-image given in the openembedded/recipes/images directory.


Terminal window was like this

[saleh at localhost build]$ bitbake helloworld-image

NOTE: Parsing finished. 0 cached, 0 parsed, 0 skipped, 0 masked.
NOTE: Cache is clean, not saving.
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'helloworld-image'

Try 'bitbake helloworld-image' (dash, not underscore)


The 0 cached, 0 parsed, 0 skipped, 0 masked from the parse implies that BBFILES was not set correctly, or at all.
