From c2f14db4e0dbcf623a8ebfa36e1a594e166ff710 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2012 09:33:44 -0600 Subject: documentation: several manuals - Notes and links for filename space issue Fixes [YOCTO_#3396] Spaces in file and directory names is an issue for the build system and throws an error when sourcing the environment setup script. I added key notes in several areas of the doc set. I also added some cross-references to the oe-init-build-env section in some other areas where running the script is discussed.
