Thanks. that works. but i am confused :) in the original recipe, i was doing do_autogen "after" configure, assuming do_configure will install all the needed dependencies and i can use those native tools after that. but with your solution (do_configure_prepend, which works), it gives the impression we are using proto-c-native before proto-c-native is installed. how does the dependencies are ordered? thanks,Sridhar Pitchai

That's because DEPENDS = "foo" actually means do_configure[depends] = "foo". This is so that packages can fetch/unpack/patch whilst their build dependencies are being built. Instead of adding a new task to run autogen which will run *before* configure and therefore before your dependencies have been build, simply do_configure_prepend() if the operations need to happen before cmake runs.
