Some tasks exist, such as <filename>devshell</filename>, that are not part of the
default build chain.
If you wish to run a task that is not part of the default build chain, you can use the
- <filename>-c</filename> option in BitBake as follows:
+ <filename>-c</filename> option in BitBake.
+ Here is an example:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c devshell
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
- This sequence first builds <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename> and then recompiles it.
+ This sequence first builds and then recompiles
+ <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename>.
The last command reruns all tasks (basically the packaging tasks) after the compile.
BitBake recognizes that the <filename>compile</filename> task was rerun and therefore
understands that the other tasks also need to be run again.
