Among the files generated by meson is compile_commands.json. It is not used by bitbake during the build. However, if the devtool workspace is opened inside an IDE, that IDE can use compile_commands.json to configure linting and code completion. This is notably relied on by the new devtool ide-sdk command. The problem is that the IDE using compile_commands.json does not know the $PATH set-up by bitbake, so it won't find the compiler. This results in linting errors, like missing headers. We can fix this by expliciting the absolute compiler paths in meson.cross. The compile_commands.json specification expressly states: "All paths specified in the command or file fields must be either absolute or relative to this directory." Link: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html An alternative way to implement this is to directly change CXX inside bitbake.conf to make all recipes use absolute compiler paths.Since this would affect all recipes, so I would like to have the maintainers' opinion on this. It could make sense to use absolute compiler paths for all toolchain binaries, we already do so for the sysroot TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS. Discussions have been opened with meson/ninja maintainers to implement this at their level: - https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/2383 - https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/12834 These tools have even less information on the environment so it makes sense for Yocto to provide the absolute paths.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for 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 BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/
OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.

Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
- Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
BitBake (files in bitbake/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Documentation (files in documentation/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
- Mailing list: docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto
- Mailing list: poky@lists.yoctoproject.org
If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
