That's an easy one ;) It is not set at all. But digging deeper into this problem gave me the solution. The lmc.bb is a recipe that does not actually build anything. It is thus very similar to e.g. the package-index.bb. So, what I did was to instead use that recipe as a base and now it works :) More precisely, what we did before was do_package[noexec] = "1" do_packagedata[noexec] = "1" do_populate_sysroot[noexec] = "1" But it seems that is not enough, we also need to tell it not to run do_package_write[noexec] = "1" do_package_write_ipk[noexec] = "1" do_package_write_rpm[noexec] = "1" do_package_write_deb[noexec] = "1" The incorrect assumption we made was that do_package[data] on top level would also drag in all the sub-functions which seems not to be the case. So with all these set to noexec the error is gone! I do have one more question. I can see in package-index.bb the following being set INHIBIT_DEFAULT_DEPS = "1" PACKAGES = "" EXCLUDE_FROM_WORLD = "1" Is this something that is recommended to be used for recipes like this? Or can we safely leave them out?
