I'm learning OE and are wrestling with the following issues. I've searched
the OE and BB docs but not found the answers.
1) I have a very simple .bb file and I do -not- inherit from a .bbclass.
What rules are applied by default in this case? In particular, it
is building -dbg and -dev .ipk files and I don't see how my receipe
is doing that.
2) For my simple package "taulayout", I create a single directory in the
do_install() step. It builds fine but only creates:
taulayout-dbg_1.0-r0_armv4t.ipk
taulayout-dev_1.0-r0_armv4t.ipk
Why didn't it create the basic:
taulayout_1.0-r0_armv4t.ipk
3) I'm getting confused re the search order of BBFILES and BBPATH. It
seems that in some cases it matches left-to-right and other times
right-to-left. And seems to differ re .conf files versus
.bb/.bbclass files. This isn't documented on the site under those
directives so can someone spell out the search rules.
I was expecting it to behave like the Unix PATH and Python
PYTHONPATH, in that the first match left-to-right is returned.
Thanks for any enlightenment,
-Jeff
