May 08 03:44:19 <otay> Hello. I would like to try matchbox-wm. Do I need to build xserver or such?
May 08 03:44:50 <otay> Actually, I would be okay with just X Windows and a terminal
May 08 03:45:22 <otay> I just want to see X work. Not sure if I should use X, Xorg, X11.. dunno
May 08 03:49:20 <otay> here's something called mini-x-session.. what is does it do
May 08 03:49:28 * otay reads it
May 08 05:18:34 * otay reads it again
May 08 05:39:21 <otay> mini-x-session installed okay
May 08 06:36:53 <otay> xserver installed almost ok
May 08 19:20:39 <mbroadst> hey I've got a Makefile based recipe that installs some symlinks as part of its install step, and I've noticed those symlinks when packaged up resolve to the local build path instead of looking like proper links (if that makes sense?)
May 08 19:21:20 <mbroadst> e.g. /var/www/something -> /build/tmp-glibc/work/core2-64-oe-linux/blah/blah/blah
May 08 19:22:03 <mbroadst> anybody know how to correct that? I've been looking at other projects that have symlinks and they seem fine (although most of the time the symlinking happens as part of explicit do_install steps in the recipe..)
May 08 19:28:43 <khem> mbroadst: probably you need to fix them to be a relative symlink w.r.t / on target
May 08 19:30:48 <mbroadst> khem: the Makefile rule is just like `ln -sf ${DESTDIR}/var/www/something ${DESTDIR}/somewhere/else`
May 08 19:34:04 <mbroadst> is that incorrect?
May 08 19:34:33 <mbroadst> its probably also worth mentioning that I'm using deb's for the package format
May 08 19:35:06 <mbroadst> when packagin this same piece of software for debian I had to explicitly make a `name-of-package.links` file to let dhelper know to make it relative to the package and not the system
May 08 19:39:41 <neverpanic> mbroadst: symlink targets shouldn't contain $DESTDIR
May 08 19:40:32 <mbroadst> neverpanic: I was kind of basing it off e.g. https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-support/db/db_6.0.30.bb#n106
May 08 19:41:26 <mbroadst> there's nothing particularly standard about the makefile recipe, I'm just trying to unify the install rules for the legacy system (which builds debs for another build tool) and transitioning to yocto
May 08 19:42:23 <mbroadst> so my do_install does a `oe_runmake DESTDIR=${D} install` and figured that would do the same as the above linked example
May 08 19:42:28 <neverpanic> try ln -sf /var/www/something ${DESTDIR}/somewhere/else
May 08 19:46:10 <mbroadst> right on that seems to have done the trick
May 08 19:46:16 <mbroadst> much appreciated
