(that trailing ":" doesn't hurt, but it has no value.) This is wrong. You only don't need the leading : if FILESEXTRAPATHS was empty to begin with, which is only the case if that is the first and only bbappend adding to it. As soon as you get more than one, you'll end up with concatenated values and no separator.i'm confused, not sure what this means. what is the *proper* usage of that variable?
I think Chris means you don't need ":=", you should just use "=" Bottom line, what you are trying to create is something that looks like this: FILESEXTRAPATHS = "some_path:some_other_path:even_another_path:" so the ":" at the end of the expression should always be there. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
