Sorry for sending multiple separate mails - I sent previous when I had made no progress for a while and assumed I would not have anything more to say in a while. Then I got sudden revelation: Problem is in fact recursive dependency. libtool-native depends on help2man-native, though this dependency is not listed in recipe. Older versions of automake worked despite that missing dependency; as stated above, it just updated timestamp when help2man was not available. Now the missing help2man causes it to abort (automake NEWS claim of *useful* warning is not correct...) What makes this hard to fix is that help2man depends on libtool in turn. - ML _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
