A sample version, tuned for the beagleboard target, is attached. Problems: * If SRC_URI has any qualifications, e.g. SRC_URI_beagleboard_append, then the main recipe fails because it's files can't be found. * The do_install step also seems to get royally confused. How to duplicate. * Add the attached .bbappend to your layer, e.g. .../recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bbappend * Add a simple file (bb_script) .../recipes-core/base-files/base-files-3.0.14/beagleboard/bb_script 15188 1 199 gary 2011-08-03 08:29:14 +0000 Created attachment 199 Sample .bbappend script Use this recipe chunk as a starting point to duplicate the issue. 15191 2 gary 2011-08-03 10:14:31 +0000 More investigation shows that while SRC_URI_target_append = "..." sort of works, it really should be written SRC_URI_append_target = "..." Similarly for the do_install() step Perhaps this sort of error could be pointed out by the bitbake parser? 15192 3 200 gary 2011-08-03 10:16:23 +0000 Created attachment 200 Working recipe fragment This .bbappend fragment works properly, documenting how this can be used. 15220 4 sgw 2011-08-04 15:18:53 +0000 So is this now a documentation issue, or is there still a problem here? 15224 5 gary 2011-08-04 16:09:24 +0000 (In reply to comment #4) > So is this now a documentation issue, or is there still a problem here? The problem was all mine, albeit just a misunderstanding. I think the documentation can be improved as there is virtually nothing on how to use _append and/or _QUALIFIER. I looked in all the Yocto documentation, as well as the bitbake docs. It wasn't obvious to me that SRC_URI_machine_append = "..." was different from SRC_URI_append_machine = "..." and also different from SRC_URI_machine += " ..." or even SRC_URI += " ..." Each yielded different, mostly confusing, results with only SRC_URI_append_machine = "..." working correctly. 15438 6 richard.purdie 2011-08-12 01:59:28 +0000 This patch adds further documentation to the bitbake manual: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=6697ce28851121fa570b93949b82a36c322e4014 199 2011-08-03 08:29:14 +0000 2011-08-03 08:29:14 +0000 Sample .bbappend script base-files_3.0.14.bbappend application/octet-stream 515 gary IwojIEp1c3QgdGVsbCBCaXRCYWtlIHdoZXJlIHRvIGZpbmQgbXkgdGhlIGV4dHJhIGZpbGVzCiMK RklMRVNFWFRSQVBBVEhTIDo9ICIke1RISVNESVJ9LyR7UE59LSR7UFZ9OiR7VEhJU0RJUn0vJHtQ Tn0iCgpQUiAuPSAiLjEiCgojCiMgV2h5IGRvZXNuJ3QgdGhpcyB3b3JrPyAgSWYgc3BlY2lmaWVk IGxpa2UgdGhpcywgdGhlIHdob2xlIHJlY2lwZQojIGZhaWxzIGJlY2F1c2UgdGhlIGZpbGVzIGZy b20gdGhlIG1haW4gU1JDX1VSSSBjYW4ndCBiZSBmb3VuZAojCiNTUkNfVVJJX2JlYWdsZWJvYXJk X2FwcGVuZCA9ICJcCiMgICAgZmlsZTovL2JiX3NjcmlwdCBcCiMiClNSQ19VUkkgKz0gIlwKICAg IGZpbGU6Ly9iYl9zY3JpcHQgXAoiCgpkb19pbnN0YWxsX2JlYWdsZWJvYXJkX2FwcGVuZCAoKSB7 CiAgICBpbnN0YWxsIC1tIDA3NTUgJHtXT1JLRElSfS9iYl9zY3JpcHQgJHtEfSR7U1lTQ09ORkRJ Un0vYmJfc2NyaXB0Cn0KCkZJTEVTXyR7UE59ICs9ICIke1NZU0NPTkZESVJ9L2JiX3NjcmlwdCIK Cgo= 200 2011-08-03 10:16:23 +0000 2011-08-03 10:16:23 +0000 Working recipe fragment base-files_3.0.14.bbappend application/octet-stream 343 gary IwojIEp1c3QgdGVsbCBCaXRCYWtlIHdoZXJlIHRvIGZpbmQgbXkgY29tcG9uZW50IGZpbGVzCiMK RklMRVNFWFRSQVBBVEhTX3ByZXBlbmQgOj0gIiR7VEhJU0RJUn0vJHtQTn0tJHtQVn06JHtUSElT RElSfS8ke1BOfToiCgpQUiAuPSAiLjEiCgpTUkNfVVJJX2FwcGVuZF9teXRhcmdldCA9ICIgXAog ICAgZmlsZTovL215X3NjcmlwdCBcCiIKCmRvX2luc3RhbGxfYXBwZW5kX215dGFyZ2V0ICgpIHsK ICAgIGluc3RhbGwgLW0gMDc1NSAke1dPUktESVJ9L215X3NjcmlwdCAke0R9JHtzeXNjb25mZGly fS9teV9zY3JpcHQKfQoKRklMRVNfJHtQTn0gKz0gIiR7c3lzY29uZmRpcn0vbXlfc2NyaXB0IgoK Cg==
