Oh, I see, this is the aclocal "scan all .m4 files" thing. I suppose the ideal arrangement, following the earlier discussion today about accidental library linkage, would be to provide a way to only copy the .m4 files that were installed by recipes in DEPENDS (recursively of course). This would have the pleasant side effect of reducing the number of files that aclocal needs to scan which might make it a bit faster as well. But, looking at aclocal itself, it doesn't seem as though it would be very hard to patch it to cope a bit more gracefully with files which disappear (or turn out to be unreadable) underneath it. I wonder if that would be a better fix and we could then just remove all this copying altogether. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
