Buggy busybox update 1.94.4 => 1.20.2
Two questions from a Newbie on Yocto:
I get compiling Errors in Busybox from a new clone of the Yocto Git Repo.
I have to change the name of the .bbappend File from 1.94.4 to 1.20.2 and also the directory to get a working tree.
And in the 1.94.4.bbappend File. What means ${P} after the THISDIR? In the Documentation i read something about ${THISDIR}/${PN} and not ${P} is this a mistake or do i understand something wrong?
Regards
Axel

This has now been fixed in latest master - thanks for pointing it out.

You can use whatever subdirectory name you like there, ${PN} (which would resolve to "busybox") is just traditional. In this case the author of the bbappend chose to use ${P} which is the same as ${PN}-${PV}, which in this case resolves to "busybox-1.20.2", thus making the directory specific to the version of busybox being built.
Cheers,
Paul
