How to include the same file into two different packages - Yocto

I have a yocto recipe that builds, a Java .jar file, and it's needed to be included at the target and development packages, I already tried to explicity the files, but yocto doesn't create two packages with the same content. I'm trying this:

FILES_${PN} = "${libdir}/libfoo.jar"
FILES_${PN}-dev  = "${libdir}/libfoo.jar"

But the dev package still empty.

How can I add this file to theese 2 packages?

Solution

  • What if you create a base package and make your two packages depend on it?

    PACKAGES = "${PN}-dbg ${PN}-base ${PN} ${PN}-dev"

RDEPENDS_${PN} += "${PN}-base"
RDEPENDS_${PN}-dev += "${PN}-base"
