**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Dec 30 03:00:02 2017 Dec 30 04:57:57 When we want to run a task, when do we use do_ as in do_fetch as opposed to fetch? Dec 30 10:12:20 Greetings. I'm new to Yocto and have a problem using Google protobuf in a recipe. It seems to be like this... The compilation executes in several steps. Initially, there are soem protobugcompilations which create new include files from .../tmp/.../git/src/.. and produces them in .../tmp/.../build/... . In a lter step though, another step wants to include those files, but the process cant find them as files in .../build/... Dec 30 10:12:20 ed. What shoud i do to solve the problem ? Dec 30 10:39:46 Hi Dec 30 10:40:27 I cloned the raspberry pi yocot repository, and in my conf/local.conf , I added IMAGE_FEATURE_append "x11-base" Dec 30 10:40:57 so now I have x11, and the default app is a terminal called matchbox-terminal. Dec 30 10:42:03 now, I want to add vlc package, there already a recipe for it in meta-openembedded/met-multimedia/recipes-multimedia/ Dec 30 10:42:23 I'm not sure how to add the recipe , I'm very new to yocto Dec 30 10:42:46 I read everywhere that I should add with IMAGE_INSTALL_append Dec 30 10:43:56 but , for example the matchbox-terminal is added because it's in the RDEPEND variable of packagegroup-core-x11-base Dec 30 10:44:17 So I guess I can also add vlc by adding it to this RDEPEND variable Dec 30 10:44:33 the question is what is the right way to do it Dec 30 10:45:43 greping IMAGE_INSTALL variable , I see that very few recipes actually use it Dec 30 10:48:18 DEPEND / RDEPEND you use when you create a new bb recipe Dec 30 10:48:39 IMAGE_INSTALL you use for default additionons to an image Dec 30 10:49:17 if you want flexibility to add as per user decision, you just bitbake recipe to generate a package, and install package in running system Dec 30 10:49:47 new myself, but that would be my interpretation Dec 30 10:54:43 cc_smart: correct l Dec 30 10:56:38 so , in my case I would just add it with IMAGE_INSTALL ? Dec 30 10:58:40 if you want the item nailed into the image by default. personally, i'd probaly bitabke both x11 and vlc as packages, not adding either to images_install, and place them as packages somewhere from where i can install them in running system. but yes, IMAGE_INSTALL would then be a n option. Dec 30 11:31:33 How can I force a fetch because I have modified a downloaded package but now want the original package back? Dec 30 15:08:15 hi, I understand the the PREFERRED_VERSION variable influences the varsions of packages listed in RDEPENDS Dec 30 15:08:33 does it also influance packages listed in DEPENDS ? Dec 30 15:17:18 it influences only build-time dependencies in DEPENDS Dec 30 15:18:00 version in RDEPENDS is added later based on the version of shlib provider found by package.bbclass Dec 30 15:21:18 ok, I want to add the vlc package , which has "lua" package in it's DEPNENDS variable Dec 30 15:21:33 but vlc needs lua5.2 and the default is lua5.3 Dec 30 15:22:07 then when running vlc on the target i get undefined symbol in the liblua_plugin.so Dec 30 15:44:14 so how do I set the packages in DEPENDS to be in specific version ? Dec 30 16:31:25 How to add "build" directory content from a previous compile step into includes together with "git/src" dirctrory content ? Dec 30 17:10:10 Hi #JaMa , so PREFERRED_VERSION do influance DEPENDS ? Dec 30 17:10:36 can I add it to a specific recipe , or it should be in conf/local.conf ? Dec 30 17:21:53 When to use -dev image and when to use -sdk image? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Dec 31 03:00:02 2017
