Hi,

I'm trying to create an overlay, based on an existing configuration.
During my build, I get an error which I'm pretty sure is caused by FILESDIR 
having the wrong value, causing the "do_unpack" step to fail.

As far as I can tell, the FILESDIR variable is assigned using the following 
expression: FILESDIR=${@bb.which(d.getVar('FILESPATH', 1), '.')}, according to 
comments listed by the "-e" option to bitbake.

I inspected the FILESPATH variable contents for the existing (working) 
configuration, and my own. The only differences detected were 2 paths 
(correctly) changed to point elsewhere (I can post full details if that is 
required). But anyway the end-result in FILESDIR becomes massively wrong.

I speculate the error might be that FILESPATH is set to the correct value after 
the FILESDIR is being set?
The logs only contain the same info as shown in the console, which is not 
helpfull.


Is it possible to "watch" assignments to variables in bitbake? Basically I 
would like to figure out what lines in what files cause assignments to certains 
variables in what order.

I would be very grateful for any suggestions on how to debug issues such as 
this, as I'm a complete newbie with openembedded/bitbake.

Regards
Søren
