What symbol contains the current sysroot?

What symbol contains the current sysroot?

[Paul D. DeRocco]

In a do_compile script within a recipe, what symbol can I use to refer to
the sysroot in effect during the execution? And whatever it is, is it a
real environment variable, or some symbol that is substituted by bitbake
before executing the script?

in the .bb file you can use ${STAGING_DIR_TARGET} which gives you the
sysroot.

this variable will be expanded/substituted when bitbake generates the
run.do_compile script to its actual full path.

if you want/need an env variable, you have to set it:

export FOOBAR = "${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}"

then you can use FOOBAR.
