Hello all,
Is there an established way of adding Apache to an (Colibri iMX6) image via the Yocto/OE build system?
I’m guessing I need to add a layer/recipe for this?
Regards,
Richard.
You can use the IMAGE_INSTALL_append variable in local.conf.
First, edit ‘conf/bblayers.conf’ to add the meta-webserver layer:
BBLAYERS ?= " \
.....
${TOPDIR}/../layers/meta-openembedded/meta-webserver \
.....
"
Then, in ‘conf/local.conf’, add:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " apache2"
Finally, use bitbake to rebuild the image.
Great, thanks, I shall give that a try this evening!
I’ve hit an error already, any idea how I might resolve this?

@riph72 I apologize, I may have been wrong about meta-webserver being configured by default in our build system. Edit bblayers.conf, and add the following to BASELAYERS:
${TOPDIR}/../stuff/meta-openembedded/meta-webserver \
I will update the answer accordingly.
Seems happy now, thanks. Note though, I modified your answer slightly and used this:
BBLAYERS = …
${TOPDIR}/…/layers/meta-openembedded/meta-webserver \
(I think your answer might be related to an older setup?)
Yes, you are correct, I’ve updated the answer accordingly. Thanks for the follow up.
