**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 24 03:00:00 2017 Oct 24 16:42:54 Hi, I am facing one issue. Any help is appreciated. I have written a receipe for my project. My project produces several .so files as output when built. In have updated all dependencies in DEPENDS variable. All the pacakges's libraries that are mentioned in DEPENDS are automatically linked to my project's .so files. This is leading to increase in foot print at runtime as there are many unwanted libs linked. Example, lets say DEPENDS = "a Oct 24 16:43:29 and y.so are 2 libs that my project produces. x.so is having dependency on a & b and y.so is having dependency on c & d. I want x.so to be linked with only a.so and b.so. But x.so is linked with a.so, b.so, c.so and d.so. Can someone me tell the correct procedure to fix this issue ? Oct 24 16:43:42 kiraank: thats nothing to do with the recipe but your build system Oct 24 16:44:02 DEPENDS is solely used to have build dependencies present in the sysroot, what you link to is up to your project Oct 24 16:45:05 rburton: I am sure, in my makefile, I am not linking the unwanted libs Oct 24 16:45:37 well there's literally no way that bitbake would take your DEPENDS and turn them into RDEPENDS Oct 24 16:45:46 my project is based on autoconf Oct 24 16:46:07 unless you 1) set RDEPENDS yourself or 2) link to the libraries (and bitbake will then generate RDEPENDS based on your linkage) Oct 24 16:57:05 rburton: ok. thanks. Let me check the my makefile again Oct 24 17:24:09 where would a devtool patch go to? oe-core cc bluelightning? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Oct 25 03:00:02 2017
