title: Bitbake not finding recipes
body: <p>I'm running bitbake inside of the openembedded environment, and I think it's missing 99% of my recipe files.  I've edited the local.conf file in my conf directory, and it has the line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>BBFILES := "/blah/blah/blah/rootfs/openembedded/recipes/*/*.bb"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And if I check that path with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ls -l /blah/blah/blah/rootfs/openembedded/recipes/*/*.bb
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I see tons of bb files.</p>
  
  <p>I <em>think</em> given the documentation that's all I need to do, but when I run bitbake, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>bitbake base-image

  <p>So, the path doesn't appear to be wrong, and I have hundreds of bb files, but bitbake only sees 15 recipes.  Any idea what I missed?  Unfortunately the documentation which comes with my particular board is several years out of date, so not much matches up exactly with OE or Yocto anymore.</p>
