Hej The makefile has an install section. I relocated it with the ${D}. By doing that I managed that the compiler filled the "package" directory. But there is still a packing issue. Below is the log (and below of it is the libhiredis.bb). Now my question: How to define the FILES variable for a proper packing? #### log ###### NOTE: Executing RunQueue Tasks WARNING: libhiredis: No generic license file exists for: COPYING in any provider ERROR: QA Issue: libhiredis: Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package: /usr/local /usr/local/lib /usr/local/include /usr/local/lib/libhiredis.so /usr/local/lib/libhiredis.so.0.13 /usr/local/lib/libhiredis.a /usr/local/lib/.debug /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig /usr/local/lib/.debug/libhiredis.so.0.13 /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/hiredis.pc /usr/local/include/hiredis /usr/local/include/hiredis/sds.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/read.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/async.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/hiredis.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/adapters /usr/local/include/hiredis/adapters/glib.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/adapters/macosx.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/adapters/libev.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/adapters/libevent.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/adapters/qt.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/adapters/libuv.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/adapters/ae.h /usr/local/include/hiredis/adapters/ivykis.h Please set FILES such that these items are packaged.

I created a recipe and modified the EXTRA_OEMAKE. The compilation works (in the git directory object, "so" and "a" files are generated). But the generated files are not placed into packages. Any ideas? You need to look at the makefile to see if it has an install target, and if it does what it's called, and if it has a way of controlling where files actually go (both respecting $prefix instead of /usr, and letting you relocate via ${D} so it doesn't try and install to /usr on your build machine). If it does all of those right then you can write a do_install() that just calls the right make commands. Chances are that it does something wrong and it's easier to just write a do_install() that creates directories and copies files manually. This is why it doesn't happen automatically unless you're using something like automake - there's no standard way. Ross
