The patching is done by a bbclass (patch.bbclass) and helper modules (meta/oe/lib/patch.py), so you can't execute it like a shell task (such as do_compile).

Thanks for the suggestions

Am currently implementing both of them and am trying to understand how the patching is done.

In the temp directory I can see all the tasks. 

For some reasons the patch wasn't applied correctly and I'm debugging why.

I have patches from before which are being correctly applied, one of them being "0001-sun8i-configs-Add-CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT-ENV-for-men.patch".

Am using that one just as a reference for this example.

I want to see the steps done to apply the patch so I do:

    temp$ grep -r 0001-sun8i-configs *

    temp$ grep -r quilt *

I am expecting to see some commands related to the patching process in one of the run scripts.

For example,  "quilt" followed by some arguments or "0001-sun8i-configs-Add-CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT-ENV-for-men.patch" being applied 

by some other tool instead of quilt. 

I only end up with some findings in the log files (log.do_fetch, log.do_unpack which don't tell me much). 

Where are the steps that apply the patches located? 

Be Well :)

I'm just upgrading to pyro and have some issues with u-boot-fw-utils.

The error fails at do_compile stage which looks like this:

    do_compile () {

            oe_runmake env

The error is:

I would assume this is a to specific error to ask help about. It seems
that the compiler isn't being called correctly (it's called as cc,
which isn't the full compiler name).
Suggestions are welcome but that isn't the reason for my post.

Guessing... apply this in your recipe:
