From ed0a240e1632682ec4c33341f3e24ad71773cdfc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:07:58 -0600 Subject: documentation: Rename of poky-ref-manual folder to ref-manual. Changing the folder that holds the YP Reference Manual to be "ref-manual". This will help with confustion over the manual's intended purpose.

+7.18. Autotools configuration data cache - siteinfo.bbclass +

+

+ Autotools can require tests that must execute on the target hardware. + Since this is not possible in general when cross compiling, site information is + used to provide cached test results so these tests can be skipped over but + still make the correct values available. + The meta/site directory + contains test results sorted into different categories such as architecture, endianness, and + the libc used. + Site information provides a list of files containing data relevant to + the current build in the + CONFIG_SITE variable + that Autotools automatically picks up. +

+

+ The class also provides variables like + SITEINFO_ENDIANNESS + and SITEINFO_BITS + that can be used elsewhere in the metadata. +

+

+ Because this class is included from base.bbclass, it is always active. +
