Creating a receipe to copy the library files

IoT Modules WP Series
1

Hi,
I’m building a receipe for wp7608 for copying the library file to rootfs,
This is my file structure

meta-mylayer/
├── conf
│ └── layer.conf
└── meta-myreceipe
└── myreceipe
├── files
│ ├── libpicoipp.so → libpicoipp.so.1.0.1
│ ├── libpicoipp.so.1 → libpicoipp.so.1.0.1
│ ├── libpicoipp.so.1.0.1
│ ├── libps5000a.so → libps5000a.so.2.0.0
│ ├── libps5000a.so.2 → libps5000a.so.2.0.0
│ └── libps5000a.so.2.0.0
└── myreceipe.bb

and this is the content of myreceipe.bb:
SUMMARY = “COPYlibFILES”

LICENSE = “CLOSED”

SRC_URI += “file://libpicoipp.so.1.0.1”
SRC_URI += “file://libps5000a.so.2.0.0”

FILES_${PN} += “${libdir}/libps5000a.so.2”
FILES_${PN} += “${libdir}/libps5000a.so”

I have added a line in yocto/build_bin/conf/bblayers.conf : /home/sloki-linux1/Documents/yocto/meta-mylayer (Path the layer created by me)
and finally
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = “myreceipe”

Error message :

is there anything i’m missing?

Here is an example on how you can add your recipe.

Hi ,
i tried the above solution, but im getting this error even after placing the file in files folder im getting this error.

Any possible solutions?

did you really follow the document?
I don’t see problem to add jacktest in WP76 R16 yocto source.

I follwed all the things mentioned in document,

and also added

im i missing anything?

6

I think you should delete your “myreceipe” folder, compile the image to have jacktest

Once it is ok, step by step to move your library to jacktest folder

7

yes, i was working on it and when i ran it independently im getting this error

Error:
install: missing destination file operand after ‘/home/sloki-linux1/Documents/yocto/build_bin/tmp/work/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/jacktest/0.1-r0/image/usr/bin’

what does this below line refers to?
install -m 0755 /home/owner/Desktop/your_file ${D}${bindir}

8

you can replace “/home/owner/Desktop/your_file” with your file

For example, you have a file in Desktop called “123.txt”, then you replace it with install -m 0755 /home/owner/Desktop/123.txt ${D}${bindir}

after you build the image and load to module, the 123.txt will appear in /usr/bin folder

9

oh okay, I tried this line by replacing the 123.txt with .so file folder and changed the bindir to libdir, then it is giving error

10

why don’t you put it in /usr/bin

11

still same error

I just tried this, and I can compile:


#
# This file was derived from the 'Hello World!' example recipe in the
# Yocto Project Development Manual.
#

SUMMARY = "Simple helloworld application"
SECTION = "examples"
LICENSE = "MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MIT;md5=0835ade698e0bcf8506ecda2f7b4f302"

SRC_URI = "file://helloworld.c"

S = "${WORKDIR}"


FILES_${PN} += "${base_libdir}/*"


do_compile() {
	     ${CC} helloworld.c -o helloworld
}

do_install() {
	     install -d ${D}${bindir}
	     install -m 0755 helloworld ${D}${bindir}
 install -d ${D}${base_libdir}
	install -m 0755 /home/owner/Desktop/ext4.txt ${D}${base_libdir}
}


INSANE_SKIP_${PN} = "ldflags"
13

Yes, this alone when compiled is working when added with a library file (.so) it is giving the errors as above

14

I have also tried to put txt file like this, no problem is found…


install -d ${D}${base_libdir}
install -m 0755 /home/owner/Desktop/ext4.txt ${D}${base_libdir}

Is this only happening to filename xxx.so only?

FYI, after loading this yocto image, I can see:

root@swi-mdm9x28-wp:~# find / -name ext4.txt
/lib/ext4.txt

15

yes, for dynamic library(filename.so),
it is giving this error

16

no problem is found for the following:

install -m 0755 /home/owner/Desktop/vgpreload_memcheck-arm-linux.so ${D}${base_libdir}

is that you put these files to /lib more than once?

17

“is that you put these files to /lib more than once?”

May be that could be the issue, im working on it

18

suggest you only putting one .so for testing just like my case

19

I had previously tried with only one, again i will try this

20

No idea then as i cannot see your issue here
