2568 You might want to not only have BitBake look for 2568 BitBake allows a task to recursively depend on itself by
2569 dependencies of those tasks, but also have BitBake look 2569 referencing itself in the task list:
2570 for build-time and runtime dependencies of the dependent
2571 tasks as well.
2572 If that is the case, you need to reference the task name
2573 itself in the task list:
2574 <literallayout class='monospaced'> 2570 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
2575 do_a[recrdeptask] = "do_a do_b" 2571 do_a[recrdeptask] = "do_a do_b"
2576 </literallayout> 2572 </literallayout>
2573 In the same way as before, this means that the <filename>do_a</filename>
2574 and <filename>do_b</filename> tasks of the current recipe and all
2575 recipes reachable (by way of dependencies) from the recipe
2576 must run before the <filename>do_a</filename> task can run. In this
2577 case BitBake will ignore the current recipe's <filename>do_a</filename>
2578 task circular dependency on itself.
