**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Nov 08 03:00:00 2014 Nov 08 16:23:40 My oe-core setup is building perl for my target, because qtbase-tools RDEPENDS on it. qtbase-tools is being built since I use Qt5 on the target. I figured out that I can remove qtbase-tools's perl dependency by clearing it in my distro configuration, but is there another way of telling bitbake _not_ to build qtbase-tools and its dependencies altogether ? Nov 08 16:24:35 I don't need perl or qt tools running on my target. Nov 08 18:08:59 To clarify my previous question, is there a way to prevent a recipe from generating one of it's subpackages, along with it's runtime dependency packages ? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Nov 09 02:59:59 2014
