**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Dec 06 03:00:01 2018 Dec 06 08:55:35 just wanted to report that it seems to me tcsh recipe in meta-openembedded is broken with usrmerge distro feature enabled: https://pastebin.com/3W9czJBS Dec 06 08:56:53 the symlink creation lines need to be fixed (or perhaps removed?) Dec 06 08:57:10 not sure what would be appropriate here Dec 06 17:01:06 hey, is there some standard way to add .pc files to a library which doesn't provide them from a bitbake recipe? Dec 06 17:02:20 one way which would work is to include the .pc file in the `files/` directory and copy it from there to the destination dir, but I'm having trouble finding a variable which contains the path to the recipe's directory or the recipe's directory's `files` dir Dec 06 17:09:13 add it to SRC_URI Dec 06 17:09:20 then it gets copied to ${WORKDIR} for you Dec 06 17:09:46 then you just need a do_install_append to mkdir ${D}${libdir}/pkg-config and copy the file Dec 06 17:09:51 after fiddling the paths in it, obviously Dec 06 17:10:28 (directory name has a typo) Dec 06 17:10:57 it didn't automatically do that for me - though I have a custom do_unpack Dec 06 17:11:04 yeah that would be it Dec 06 17:12:20 note that if you want to do something a little special in unpack do you can call the standard one and then do something else Dec 06 17:12:40 lsof does that because it has a tarball in a tarball Dec 06 17:13:03 I have a custom fetch too, so I don't know how well the standard unpack would work Dec 06 17:13:37 if your fetch doesn't put stuff in DL_DIR like normal fetch would, then fix it? Dec 06 17:14:34 it does put stuff in DL_DIR, but how does the standard unpack know exactly which file? Dec 06 17:15:15 ah true, standard unpack just asks the fetcher to do that too Dec 06 17:15:31 presumably this isn't a general-purpose fetcher that should be part of bitbake Dec 06 17:16:26 well, it could've been - it fetches from a google repo and uses gclient and such from their depot_tools Dec 06 17:16:47 there are third party fetchers for that, but I didn't really want to deal with a third party fetcher Dec 06 17:17:42 is there some variable which refers to the recipe's files directory, or the recipe's directory? Dec 06 17:17:43 i'd recommend porting that to a bitbake fetcher Dec 06 17:17:57 then you can submit it and stop maintaining it Dec 06 17:18:18 THISDIR Dec 06 17:18:34 but this is ugly as sin now Dec 06 17:20:05 there is https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/106681/, but that hasn't received any attention it seems Dec 06 18:51:52 mort: would be awesome if you could compare that with what you have, fix/extend as required, add a test suite, and post it again Dec 06 18:58:24 rburton_: gclient stuff ? yeah we did this long time ago Dec 06 19:22:53 i suspect there's a few people with implementations Dec 06 19:38:32 rburton_: that patch is from rdk ;) Dec 06 19:38:49 but we dont use anything that uses gclient anymore **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Dec 07 03:00:01 2018
