I've seen issues in the past where long symlinks have caused problems. It's either a length limitation in the filesystem or Linux itself. I never bothered to track it down.
The way I resolved it was to switch from absolute links to relative.. but I'm not sure that is possible in the first example below.. but the subsequent ones it likely is. If you have a simple way to reproduce it (i.e. configuration files, etc) please open a bug on the bugzilla.yoctoproject.org and include the filesystem type, host system type and the configuration or steps you used to reproduce this. (Or alternatively if you come up with a solution -- a patch set..) --Mark On 11/23/10 7:09 PM, João Henrique Freitas wrote: > Hi, > > I am using yocto 0.9 release and trying to generate my own
