931 | <title>Building a Specific Recipe Given Multiple Versions</title> | ||
932 | |||
933 | <para> | ||
934 | Occasionally, a layer might provide more than one version of | ||
935 | the same recipe. | ||
936 | For example, the <filename>openembedded-core</filename> layer | ||
937 | provides two versions of the <filename>bash</filename> recipe | ||
938 | (i.e. 3.2.48 and 4.3.30-r0) and two versions of the | ||
939 | <filename>which</filename> recipe (i.e. 2.21 and 2.18). | ||
940 | The following figure shows this exact scenario: | ||
941 | <imagedata fileref="figures/bash-oecore.png" align="center" width="9in" depth="6in" /> | ||
942 | </para> | ||
943 | |||
944 | <para> | ||
945 | By default, the OpenEmbedded build system builds one of the | ||
946 | two recipes. | ||
947 | For the <filename>bash</filename> case, version 4.3.30-r0 is | ||
948 | built by default. | ||
949 | Unfortunately, Toaster as it exists, is not able to override | ||
950 | the default recipe version. | ||
951 | If you would like to build bash 3.2.48, you need to set the | ||
952 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PREFERRED_VERSION'><filename>PREFERRED_VERSION</filename></ulink> | ||
953 | variable. | ||
954 | You can do so from Toaster, using the "Add variable" form, | ||
955 | which is available in the "BitBake variables" page of the | ||
956 | project configuration section as shown in the following screen: | ||
957 | <imagedata fileref="figures/add-variable.png" align="center" width="9in" depth="6in" /> | ||
958 | </para> | ||
959 | |||
960 | <para> | ||
961 | To specify <filename>bash</filename> 3.2.48 as the version to build, | ||
962 | enter "PREFERRED_VERSION_bash" in the "Variable" field, and "3.2.48" | ||
963 | in the "Value" field. | ||
964 | Next, click the "Add variable" button: | ||
965 | <imagedata fileref="figures/set-variable.png" align="center" width="9in" depth="6in" /> | ||
966 | </para> | ||
967 | |||
968 | <para> | ||
969 | After clicking the "Add variable" button, the settings for | ||
970 | <filename>PREFERRED_VERSION</filename> are added to the bottom | ||
971 | of the BitBake variables list. | ||
972 | With these settings, the OpenEmbedded build system builds the | ||
973 | desired version of the recipe rather than the default version: | ||
974 | <imagedata fileref="figures/variable-added.png" align="center" width="9in" depth="6in" /> | ||
