How to install files in Yocto


I wrote Yocto recipe for library and try to install to image.

When I run command "bitbake myproject" I get follow error:

How can I fix the issue? What should I add to the ricpe?


Solution

  • By default, package with recipe name contains following files (see here):

         FILES_${PN} = "${bindir}/* ${sbindir}/* ${libexecdir}/* ${libdir}/lib*${SOLIBS} \
                     ${sysconfdir} ${sharedstatedir} ${localstatedir} \
                     ${base_bindir}/* ${base_sbindir}/* \
                     ${base_libdir}/*${SOLIBS} \
                     ${base_prefix}/lib/udev/rules.d ${prefix}/lib/udev/rules.d \
                     ${datadir}/${BPN} ${libdir}/${BPN}/* \
                     ${datadir}/pixmaps ${datadir}/applications \
                     ${datadir}/idl ${datadir}/omf ${datadir}/sounds \
                     ${libdir}/bonobo/servers"
    

    So files in /usr/share/sxm and /sxe are created in ${D} deploy folder, but they are not added to any package.

    You have to add this line to your recipe (see here):

    FILES_${PN} += "/sxe ${datadir}/sxm" 
    

    Note /usr/share is defined as ${datadir}


    If you don't need those files you can remove them from ${D}:

    do_install_append(){
         rm -r ${D}/sxe
         rm -r ${D}/${datadir}/sxm
    }
