If the software your recipe is building uses GNU autoconf,
then a fixed set of arguments is passed to it to enable
cross-compilation plus any extras specified by
EXTRA_OECONF
or
PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS
set within the recipe.
If you wish to pass additional options, add them to
EXTRA_OECONF
or
PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS
.
Other supported build tools have similar variables
(e.g.
EXTRA_OECMAKE
for CMake,
EXTRA_OESCONS
for Scons, and so forth).
If you need to pass anything on the make
command line, you can use EXTRA_OEMAKE
or the
PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS
variables to do so.
You can use the devtool configure-help
command
to help you set the arguments listed in the previous paragraph.
The command determines the exact options being passed, and shows
them to you along with any custom arguments specified through
EXTRA_OECONF
or
PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS
.
If applicable, the command also shows you the output of the
configure script's "‐‐help" option as a reference.
