+1. Once you have PATH set up to actually run BB, and then you run it

+
+ bitbake -DDD
+
+ You get these complaints:
+
+The BBPATH variable is not set and bitbake did not find a conf/bblayers.conf file in the expected location.
+Maybe you accidentally invoked bitbake from the wrong directory?
+
+2. If you export BBPATH to point to your build directory and do nothing
+ else, BB will look for the &lt;buildir&gt;/conf/bitbake.conf file. It will
+ throw and error with a bunch of traceback stuff and say:
