From 60f9d69e016b11c468c98ea75ba0a60c44afbbc4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Williams Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 14:31:25 -0500 Subject: yocto-poky: Move to import-layers subdir We are going to import additional layers, so create a subdir to hold all of the layers that we import with git-subtree.

+ Package Management Systems + + + The OpenEmbedded build system supports the generation of sysroot files using + three different Package Management Systems (PMS): + + OPKG: A less well known PMS whose use + originated in the OpenEmbedded and OpenWrt embedded Linux projects. + This PMS works with files packaged in an .ipk format. + See for more + information about OPKG. + RPM: A more widely known PMS intended for GNU/Linux + distributions. + This PMS works with files packaged in an .rpm format. + The build system currently installs through this PMS by default. + See + for more information about RPM. + Debian: The PMS for Debian-based systems + is built on many PMS tools. + The lower-level PMS tool dpkg forms the base of the Debian PMS. + For information on dpkg see + . + + +
+ +
+ Configuring the PMS + + + Whichever PMS you are using, you need to be sure that the + PACKAGE_CLASSES + variable in the conf/local.conf + file is set to reflect that system. + The first value you choose for the variable specifies the package file format for the root + filesystem at sysroot. + Additional values specify additional formats for convenience or testing. + See the conf/local.conf configuration file for + details. + + + + For build performance information related to the PMS, see the + "package.bbclass" + section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual. + + + + As an example, consider a scenario where you are using OPKG and you want to add + the libglade package to the target sysroot. + + + + First, you should generate the IPK file for the + libglade package and add it + into a working opkg repository. + Use these commands: + + $ bitbake libglade + $ bitbake package-index + + + + + Next, source the cross-toolchain environment setup script found in the + Source Directory. + Follow that by setting up the installation destination to point to your + sysroot as sysroot_dir. + Finally, have an OPKG configuration file conf_file + that corresponds to the opkg repository you have just created. + The following command forms should now work: + + $ opkg-cl –f conf_file -o sysroot_dir update + $ opkg-cl –f cconf_file -o sysroot_dir \ + --force-overwrite install libglade + $ opkg-cl –f cconf_file -o sysroot_dir \ + --force-overwrite install libglade-dbg + $ opkg-cl –f conf_file> -o sysroot_dir> \ + --force-overwrite install libglade-dev + + +
