Do I need to edit libfm_0.1.17.bb in-place, or can it be stored outside my layers to be built with bitbake -b, for example? Does S need to contain an absolute path, or could it be set to a path relative to the location of the recipe? It would be nice if it was possible to include bitbake recipes in the source trees of my projects, which "just work". I think this was possible with srctree.bbclass, though I never had it working reliably. I think bitbake -cclean always raised errors.
