just noticed this in ref manual: "${B} is no longer the default working directory for tasks. Consequently, any custom tasks you define now need to either have the [dirs] flag set, or the task needs to change into the appropriate working directory manually (e.g using cd for a shell task)."
Note The preferred method is to use the [dirs] flag. except it was just recently that ross burton(?) pointed me at OE's base.bbclass to see the default working directory for at least the most fundamental tasks: $ grep "\[dirs\]" base.bbclass do_fetch[dirs] = "${DL_DIR}" do_unpack[dirs] = "${WORKDIR}" do_configure[dirs] = "${B}" do_compile[dirs] = "${B}" do_install[dirs] = "${B}" $ so, *technically*, that claim in the ref manual is not wholly true; there are still a small number of tasks that use that default directory. is that a distinction worth making in the reference manual? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
