From 2231d3800e94e39a6cc77473c6654cb221e7e55b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Zanussi Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:07:34 -0500 Subject: meta-intel: make video acceleration choice dependent on LICENSE_FLAGS The gst-ffmpeg recipe in oe-core had LICENSE_FLAGS added to make it "commercial", so to avoid build errors the BSPs that use it (via the gst-va-intel VA_FEATURE) should only include it if the user has added "commercial" to LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST when building. This adds a conditional to detect that, along with a NOTE in the README to explain the need for the flag.
