           Summary: env variable MAKEFLAGS should not be propagated into
                    bitbake subprocesses
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I always run shells with environment variable MAKEFLAGS=-j6, and it cause an
build error on "bitbake qte". Although unsetting MAKEFLAGS makes the build
passed, I think that it should automatically be unset in a bbclass or bitbake
itself.

In my case, I first found the variable PARALLEL_MAKE="-j 4" commented out in
local.conf.sample. So I assumed that MAKEFLAGS is properly taken care of by
bitbake or OE bbclass, but not. As like my case, it will be a time-consumptive
pitfall for bitbake beginners and so it prevents new developers from being
involved with OE. Fixing this problem makes all participants happy.

bitbake: 1.4.2
OE db: 2006-06-20
DISTRO: openzaurus-unstable
MACHINE: native, c7x0
