Ross,

Perfect. For whatever reason, the manual doesn’t come up when I google COMPATIBLE_HOST. Looks like I’ll need to bookmark the mega manual.

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I have a binary recipe that is only compatible with x86 and x86_64 systems. I *think* specifying the COMPATIBLE_HOST in my recipe would be a good idea. However, I've been unable to find any documentation, or even a good description, of this variable. Can someone help me out here?

The manual has a section in the glossary:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7.1/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#var-COMPATIBLE_HOST

And yes, this is the idiom.  Lots of meta-intel for example uses COMPATIBLE_HOST = '(i.86|x86_64).*-linux'.
