Subject: ref-manual: Added new variable entry for BULIDDIR.
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=072b38a5c26691280d2ac9ce8aa2c139bbc92a47;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core-contrib.git

ref-manual: Added new variable entry for BULIDDIR.

Ross Burton suggested this might be good to have so I added
it.  The changes include the entry itself and a link to it
from the beginning of the "Classes" chapter where it is
talked about.
