how to make bitbake print options of do_configure

I'm having trouble cross compiling Qt5 for beaglebone using openembedded with bitbake. I think in step do_configure not everything is passed from my *.bbappend and no platform plugins are installed (I need 'linuxfb').

My question will be: how to make bitbake print list of arguments it passes to ./configure?

Solution

  • There's a few ways to get that info, I would suggest looking in the recipe work directory:

    • temp/log.do_configure contains the configure task log which should list exact ./configure-command
    • build/ contains the projects own build system artefacts

    bitbake -e <recipe> | grep <VARIABLE> is very useful if you want to know what variable values end up as (check e.g. PACKAGECONFIG and PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS values if you're modifying packageconfig).
