My code doesnt actually sit "in" the local overlay, only my recipes are there. I have a separate working directory where I do my work. Oh come on, creating a tarball is pretty trivial =D. The bitbake is kinda smart enough to unpack the tarball while building your code. No problems there. Especially when you have a sizeable number of files, copying each and every file is kinda weird (unless its under some Version Control System). But, if your code is in some local svn (..or cvs) repository you could make change the SRC_URI accordingly if you want the "copy each file into the build directory" behaviour. Digging into the gazillions of recipes in the tree should give you an idea. Bitbake experts, Correct me if i am wrong. =) Regards Sudharshan S blog: http://www.sudharsh.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
