Hi,
I am using bitbake 1.10.1 for building OE packages. However bitbake fails to
compile packages where the package name contains some special character,
packages like 'libstdc++'.
To handle this problem, I added a patch to bitbake where the special
characters in the package name are preceded with the escape character. Now
with this pat
ch, the package libstdc++ gets compiled correctly.
Anyone faced the similar problem? Is there any other better workaround for
this problem?
Thanks,
Rahul
