(currently poring over ref manual "tasks" section, will ask about whatever seems confusing.) here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/tasks.html#do-configure one reads: "The default behavior of this task is to run oe_runmake clean if a makefile (Makefile, makefile, or GNUmakefile) is found and CLEANBROKEN is not set to “1”. If no such file is found or the CLEANBROKEN variable is set to “1”, the do_configure task does nothing." if you check the task definition: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/classes-global/base.bbclass#n379 it seems that even if that test fails, there might still be some subsequent processing, so stating that it will do "nothing" seems potentially misleading. rday
