16 Any given package consists of a set of tasks.
17 The standard BitBake behavior in most cases is: <code class="filename">fetch</code>,
18 <code class="filename">unpack</code>,
19 <code class="filename">patch</code>, <code class="filename">configure</code>,
20 <code class="filename">compile</code>, <code class="filename">install</code>, <code class="filename">package</code>,
21 <code class="filename">package_write</code>, and <code class="filename">build</code>.
22 The default task is <code class="filename">build</code> and any tasks on which it depends
23 build first.
24 Some tasks exist, such as <code class="filename">devshell</code>, that are not part of the
25 default build chain.
26 If you wish to run a task that is not part of the default build chain, you can use the
27 <code class="filename">-c</code> option in BitBake as follows:
28 </p>
29<pre class="literallayout">
30 $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c devshell
31 </pre>
32<p>
33 </p>
34<p>
35 If you wish to rerun a task, use the <code class="filename">-f</code> force option.
36 For example, the following sequence forces recompilation after changing files in the
37 working directory.
38 </p>
39<pre class="literallayout">
40 $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
41 .
42 .
43 [make some changes to the source code in the working directory]
44 .
45 .
46 $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c compile -f
47 $ bitbake matchbox-desktop
48 </pre>
49<p>
50 </p>
51<p>
52 This sequence first builds <code class="filename">matchbox-desktop</code> and then recompiles it.
53 The last command reruns all tasks (basically the packaging tasks) after the compile.
54 BitBake recognizes that the <code class="filename">compile</code> task was rerun and therefore
55 understands that the other tasks also need to be run again.
56 </p>
57<p>
58 You can view a list of tasks in a given package by running the
59 <code class="filename">listtasks</code> task as follows:
60 </p>
61<pre class="literallayout">
62 $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c listtasks
63 </pre>
64<p>
65 The results are in the file <code class="filename">${WORKDIR}/temp/log.do_listtasks</code>.
