How to add lighttpd in yocto

I want to add lighttpd and php-cgi in my "rpi-basic-image". I have in my bblayers.conf:

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  /home/osboxes/Desktop/SI_Labs/Lab_06/poky/meta \
  /home/osboxes/Desktop/SI_Labs/Lab_06/poky/meta-yocto \
  /home/osboxes/Desktop/SI_Labs/Lab_06/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
  "
BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE ?= " \
  /home/osboxes/Desktop/SI_Labs/Lab_06/poky/meta \
  /home/osboxes/Desktop/SI_Labs/Lab_06/poky/meta-yocto \
  "

In meta, I have a directory called recipes-extended/lighttpd. I read that I must add in my layer.conf

CORE_EXTRA_IMAGES_INSTALL += "lighttpd-module-fastcgi"

or

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lighttpd-module-fastcgi"

but the image still doesn't have lighttpd. I don't want to add apt in my image. Can somebody make me understand what I have done wrong?

P.S. I followed instructions from https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-customimage, but I failed.

Solution

  • It's CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL (c.f. http://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/variables.html#term-CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL) or IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " lighttpd-module-fastcgi" (you are missing a leading space in the string). They should NOT be in any layer.conf, at worst in conf/local.conf, at best in your image recipe.
