Hi,

I’m trying to add the library libnode.so from my custom recipe but I get the following error:

    Log data follows:

My recipe library_test.bb:

    SUMMARY = "Test"

    	install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/files/libnode.so ${D}${libdir}/libnode.so
    }
    
    FILES_${PN} += "${libdir}/libnode.so"

The content of files.tar.gz:

            .
            ├── files
            │   └── libnode.so

The main cause should be:

install: cannot create regular file '/home/joao/projetos/mT100_imx7_2.8/build/tmp-glibc/work/armv7at2hf-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/library-test/1.0-r0/image/usr/lib/libnode.so': No such file or directory

I followed a lot of examples but it doesn’t work. Am i missing anything?

Hi

You need to create the target directory in the do_install task.

do_install() {
    install -d ${D}${libdir}
    install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/files/libnode.so ${D}${libdir}/libnode.so
}

Maybe there are other things too. You might want to read this.
If the build succeeds but you get QA warnings you might want to suppress the warning by setting the INSANE_SKIP_${PN} variable depending on the warning, e.g ‘INSANE_SKIP_${PN} = “dev-so ldflags”’.
