Hi Maksym, I did some more investigations. I would say bitbake (branch 1.2) that is checked out by setup-script (anyway two weeks ago) does not care about bblayers.conf and layer.conf. You can have anything at all in these files and you won't see any messages logged regarding these files. Also this version of bitbake requires you to point bitbake.conf with BBPATH in the beginning. Otherwice bitbake will complain that bitbake.conf can't be found from directories listed in BBPATH.
However, this is different with bitbake Master branch. You need only point the directory where conf directory for bblayers.conf file lies. By using that bitbake can parse layer.conf files and can find that bitbake.conf file that lies in oe layer. Also, if I make errors in layer.conf files pointed by bblayers.conf file, these errors will be logged. I can't say this is quite sure as the set-up that I have for investigating this is broken - bitbake master - openembedded master combination seems to crash while creating linux native (gettext-native-0.18-r6). No-one seems tho care about that, though. I could still try bitbake/master - openembedded/2011.03-maintenance combination as 2011.03-maintenance does not crash with this gettext (actually it produces -r5) but I'm now playing over gsm modem connection, so I'll postpone that until I have proper connection. It might be good if someone more "developer grade" person could also comment these observations. -Matti 2011/7/26 Maksym Parkachov <lazy.gop...@gmail.com>: > On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 8:02 PM, matti kaasinen > <matti.kaasi...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hii Maksym, >> I have to draw my answer back.
