Yocto - Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package

I'm using Yocto to install clBLAS library (https://github.com/clMathLibraries/clBLAS) using the recipe https://github.com/CogentEmbedded/meta-opencl/blob/master/meta-ocl-common/recipes-graphics/clblas/clblas_git.bb

But I'm getting the below warning everytime & .so file is not present in the built image.

WARNING: QA Issue: clblas: Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package:
  /usr/lib
  /usr/lib/libclBLAS.so.2.12.0
  /usr/lib/libclBLAS.so.2

Please set FILES such that these items are packaged. Alternatively if they are unneeded, avoid installing them or delete them within do_install.
clblas: 14 installed and not shipped files. [installed-vs-shipped]

How to overcome this warning & make the .so file present in the target's /usr/lib folder?

Solution

  • Add below lines to your clblas_git.bb

     FILES_${PN} += "${libdir}/*"
 FILES_${PN}-dev = "${libdir}/* ${includedir}"
