Yocto: cp can't stat file: no such file or directory

I am trying to copy two folders(containing some scripts) in my target rootfs. I have created a custom layer and a custom recipe inside it. My directory structure is like this:

../sources/meta-company/recipes-bla_2.06/
└── bla
    ├── bla
    │   ├── dir1
    │   │   ├── dir
    │   │   │   └── files.sh
    │   └── dir2
    │       ├── dir
    │       │   ├── files.sql
    │       ├── test.sh
    └── bla_2.06.bb

My .bb file is as follows:

DESCRIPTION = " bla "

LICENSE = "CLOSED"

SRC_URI = "file://dir1/ \
           file://dir2/ "

do_install() {
    install -d ${D}/root/dir1
    install -d ${D}/root/dir2
    cp -r --no-dereference --preserve=mode,links -v ${S}/dir1/ ${D}/root/dir1
    cp -r --no-dereference --preserve=mode,links -v ${S}/dir2/ ${D}/root/dir2/
}

FILE_$PN = "/root/"

The error I am getting:

> Log data follows: | DEBUG: Executing shell function do_install | cp:

> '/home/amol/test/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp/build-cl-som-imx7-fsl-imx-x11/tmp/work/cortexa7hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/bla/1.0-r0/bla-1.0/dir1':

> NOTE: recipe bla-1.0-r0: task do_install: Failed NOTE: Tasks Summary:

I am new to yocto, is my .bb file correct?.Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • There are two problems in your do_install section,

    1. ${S} points to source directory, but SRC_URI copies your content in ${WORKDIR}. So you should be using ${WORKDIR} in your install section
    2. You are trying to copy ${S}/dir1/ inside ${D}/root/dir1, this means your final structure is /root/dir1/dir1/. You may not want this.

    So the modified version would look like,

    do_install() {
    install -d ${D}/root/dir1
    install -d ${D}/root/dir2
    cp -r --no-dereference --preserve=mode,links -v ${WORKDIR}/dir1/* ${D}/root/dir1/
    cp -r --no-dereference --preserve=mode,links -v ${WORKDIR}/dir2/* ${D}/root/dir2/
}
