Description Robert Yang 2013-09-03 03:23:39 UTC 
We will see the following warning by accident:

$ bitbake nativesdk-glib-2.0

WARNING: QA Issue: nativesdk-glib-2.0-dbg: found library in wrong location: /opt/poky/0.5.5/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/opt/poky/0.5.5/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.4-gdb.py
nativesdk-glib-2.0-dbg: found library in wrong location: /opt/poky/0.5.5/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/opt/poky/0.5.5/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0.3600.4-gdb.py

This is because the configure script uses the "readlink -f $libdir/$with_runtime_libdir`" to figure out the abs dir, so if /opt/poky/0.5.5/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/lib/ exists, there would be warning, or no warning if it doesn't exist.

We can change the "readlink -f" to readlink -m to fix it for glib-2.0:

sed -i -e 's/^\(ABS_GLIB_RUNTIME_LIBDIR=.*readlink\) -f/\1 -m/' ${S}/configure.ac

, but we still need do more things on insane.bbclass to fix the warning since it's checking is not suitable for such a case.

We don't need do anything in insane.bbclass, so just fix glib-2.0 is OK, will send the patch sooner.
