bitbake parsing but not attempting to build recipes in layer.

Hi,

I have several recipes in a layer. I have added the layer to
build/conf/bblayers.conf.

The layer.conf in that layer looks correct for the BBFILES+= etc.

when I run "bitbake core-image-base" the recipes are bing parsed ( as it
picked up errors for missing dependencies). With those fixed it runs clean
and builds successfully - but its omitted the recipes from my layer - there
is nothing in build/tmp/work etc

If I build my_recipe from my layer via
"bitbake my_recipe"     it builds and I see products in build/tmp/work etc.

Any idea why its not attempting to build my_recipe  when using bitbake
core-image-base ?

Thanks
Mark

You need to add your custom packages into the image. By default, they
won't be there , nor would they be built (but as you noticed your
recipes are being parsed).

Thanks Nicolas,

I nearly had it - I'd put IMAGE_INSTALL_APPEND in my layer.conf - once I
changed to _append and had a space before the recipe name it sprang into
life.
