the important bb file content is: inherit module SRC_URI = "file://Makefile \ file://customslip.c \ file://customslip.h \ file://COPYING \ " S = "${WORKDIR}" RPROVIDES_${PN} += "kernel-module-customslip" ------------------ What yocto override variable can I set in the bb to make it not care what the localversion appended to the kernel name is?
adding DEPENDS_${PN} = "virtual/kernel" seems to have fixed this (making the kernel build the single dependency?), but the more important question is whether that is the "right" way to fix it.
