The trailing slashs on "Prefix=${prefix}/" and "-prefix ${prefix}/" are passed
through to the generated pkgconfig files and may be joined to paths like
"/include" yielding a final path with a double forward-slash (eg.
"/usr//include"). This may end up in the debugging symbols in other applications
or libraries which depend on qt4 which in turn causes the debugedit program to
fail with the message "canonicalization unexpectedly shrank by one character"
when it tries to replace the double forward-slash with a single forward-slash.
Thus the function split_and_strip_files fails and ultimately do_package fails.
As this slash is removed from the prefix it is added into the regular expression
used to fix up pkgconfig files later in the recipe.
This error was seen in vlc in meta-openembedded and should be solved by this
change in openembedded-core.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto: poky@yoctoproject.org
Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository. openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
