Which actually makes that a pretty weird COMPATIBLE_MACHINE, especially if it is intended for blacklisting. Given that it would match any machine with a dash in it, it would match, e.g., qemux86-64 but not qemux86. It would also happen to match about half of our machines which happen to have dashes in their names. A more appropriate way to blacklist machines using COMPATIBLE_MACHINE would be something like: COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "null" or: COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "nothing" I found two occurrences of "(-)" being used as COMPATIBLE_MACHINE in meta-openembedded for Morty and Pyro, but they have been removed for Rocko. If you see them anywhere else, consider changing them. //Peter -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
