733 If you run BitBake from a directory outside of the
734 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>,
735 you must be sure to set
736 <filename>BBPATH</filename> to point to the
737 Build Directory.
738 Set the variable as you would any environment variable
739 and then run BitBake:
740 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
741 $ BBPATH = "&lt;build_directory&gt;"
742 $ export BBPATH
743 $ bitbake &lt;target&gt;
