probably a simple answer to this, but in examining the way FILESPATH is created, i notice that, in .bb recipe files, the general form of setting FILESPATH always seems to involve the use of the FILE_DIRNAME variable, such as in the default value from base.bbclass:
FILESPATH = "${@base_set_filespath(["${FILE_DIRNAME}/${BP}", "${FILE_DIRNAME}/${BPN}", "${FILE_DIRNAME}/files"], d)}" however, when one is extending FILESPATH in .bbappend files, the variable used to refer to the current directory is always THISDIR. but it's not clear what the distinction is. i'm using "bb show" and, when i'm referring to the value of FILESPATH for an overlayed recipe, both FILE_DIRNAME and THISDIR seem to properly refer to the directory for the bbappend file. can someone clarify the proper usage of these variables? in particular, why it's important for .bb files to use FILE_DIRNAME but .bbappend files to use THISDIR? thanks. rday p.s. i'll have a more involved FILESPATH question shortly. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
