+            Sometimes it can be hard to see why BitBake wants to build other
+            recipes before the one you have specified.
+            Dependency information can help you understand recipe build order.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            To generate dependency information for a recipe, run the following
+            command:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake -g <replaceable>recipename</replaceable>
+            </literallayout>
+            This command writes the following files in the current directory:

+                <listitem><para>
+                    <filename>pn-buildlist</filename>: A list of

+                    <replaceable>recipename</replaceable>.
+                    "Involved" here means that at least one task from the

+            from
+            <ulink url='http://www.graphviz.org/'>Graphviz</ulink>.
+            <note>
+                <para>DOT files use a plain text format.
+                The graphs generated using the
+                <filename>bitbake -g</filename> command are often so large as
+                to be impossible to read without special pruning (e.g. with
+                Bitbake's <filename>-I</filename> option) and processing.
+                Despite the form and size of the files, the corresponding
+                <filename>.dot</filename> files can still be easy to read
+                and provide useful information.</para>
+
+                <para>As an example, the
+                <filename>task-depends.dot</filename> file contains lines such
+                as the following:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     "libxslt.do_configure" -> "libxml2.do_populate_sysroot"
+                </literallayout>
+                The above example line reveals that the
+                <link linkend='ref-tasks-configure'><filename>do_configure</filename></link>
+                task in <filename>libxslt</filename> depends on the
+                <link linkend='ref-tasks-populate_sysroot'><filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename></link>
+                task in <filename>libxml2</filename>, which is a normal
+                <link linkend='var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></link>
+                dependency between the two recipes.</para>

+            You can use a different method to view dependency information
+            by using the following command:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake -g -u depexp <replaceable>recipename</replaceable>
+            </literallayout>
+            This command displays a GUI window from which you can view
+            build-time and runtime dependencies for the recipes involved in
+            building <replaceable>recipename</replaceable>.
