It's used in the stock module.bbclass thru module-base.bbclass: https://github.com/openembedded/oe-core/blob/master/meta/classes/module-base.bbclass An example of a recipe that's using it: http://git.angstrom-distribution.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/meta-texasinstruments/tree/recipes-bsp/powervr-drivers/omap3-sgx-modules_1.6.16.3977.bb For various reasons the makefile can't be trusted or patched, so we can't use KBuild to get the version for us. regards, Koen _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
