Sometimes it can be hard to see why BitBake wants to build
other packages before building a given package you have specified.
The bitbake -g <targetname>
command
creates the pn-buildlist
,
pn-depends.dot
,
package-depends.dot
, and
task-depends.dot
files in the current
directory.
These files show what will be built and the package and task
dependencies, which are useful for debugging problems.
You can use the
bitbake -g -u depexp <targetname>
command to display the results in a more human-readable form.
