Hi, you can find the line like: DEPENDS = "XXXXXX-native" in some recipes.
So, you can describe dependency to native tools from target build if necessary. I guess this is the answer for the sentence what I have read the second paragraph of [1]: > Since the full distribution for the new architecture is not yet available, > dependency cycles have to be broken during cross as well as native > compilation. I can't answer "how" the dependency to XXXX-native chosen, in which recipe and to which native tools. When I start to try OpenEmbedded, the dependencies were already well-built. Maybe there is someone who can answer for deeper question.
