<p>
            Sometimes it can be hard to see why BitBake wants to build some other packages before a given 
            package you have specified.
            The <code class="filename">bitbake -g targetname</code> command creates the 
            <code class="filename">depends.dot</code>, <code class="filename">package-depends.dot</code>,
            and <code class="filename">task-depends.dot</code> files in the current directory. 
            These files show the package and task dependencies and are useful for debugging problems.
            You can use the <code class="filename">bitbake -g -u depexp targetname</code> command to 
            display the results in a more human-readable form.
