Hi Nicolas,

GMP is not a dependency for valgrind. I had successfully built valgrind using bitbake before attempting to build gmp, which is an entirely independent package. My attempt to build gmp didn't succeed.

Now, when I moved back to valgrind building the problem occurred. I don't understand why gmp is coming into picture.

By <recipe> do you mean the associated .bb file..?

Thanks,

Anil

no, this is not correct.

bitbake <recipe>

will first build all dependencies for <recipe>, then it will build <recipe>

so, the gmp issue needs to be addressed first.
