Additionally, BitBake searches the current directory for include and require directives. ... snip .. "In order for include and class files to be found by BitBake, they need to be located in a “classes” subdirectory that can be found in BBPATH." first, is BBPATH not used for finding conf files as well? and the wording of that second paragraph suggests that include files need to be in a classes subdirectory to be found, which i'm pretty sure isn't true. thoughts? rday --8323328-1993496012-1615813555=:37514--
