My original problem is that the image built in 1.6.1 does not build in 1.7. Paul indicated this is probably because of the -foreign issue as referred to in the reference manual Section 5.6.3 when upgrading. What I need to do is modify my recipe to include this. I understand once I have modified the recipe I can generate a patch against the original. However, I still cannot identify the original change to the recipe required to add this item. I have added to the recipe EXTRA_OECONF = " 'AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign]); " Is this the correct change to the recipe to ensure the config.ac file is updated so that any non-conformance with GNU guidelines is overlooked? I am still getting the original error error. Do I need to add :do_config() {}and if so, what do I put in the between the brackets? note that it looks like do_config is being run already because that is what is generating the error RegardsLachlan

If you want to do it by hand, look at the "Creating patches with diff" section on http://jungels.net/articles/diff-patch-ten-minutes.html. If you think you might need to add multiple patches, rework them etc. I'd recommend using git.
