How to re-run configure after changing Makefile.am

How to re-run configure after changing Makefile.am

[Norman Cheung]

Hello,

I wonder what bitbake commmand is used in Yocto to re-run configure?

I have modified the gstreamer core elements Makefile.am, and updated a 
source file.

bitbake -f -c compile gstreamer doesn't seem to re-configure the Makefile

Thanks,
Norman

bitbake -f -c configure gstreamer

or you can use devshell for this kind of 'hack'.

Probably better to do
  bitbake gstreamer -C configure
which will restart the whole recipe at the configure step.

If you use -c (lower case), you only get the configure step and
you then have to force a compile to complete the build.

I didn't know this 'trick'; nice one :-) Mario, this is useful for
your current debug ;-)

Indeed!  Thanks for the tip, Gary.
