Thanks Daniel,

I’ve given that a try, but the header isn’t appearing (with ‘bitbake rfctrl’) anywhere but the module’s own workdir.

It’s recipe is

 

SUMMARY = " RF driver"

LICENSE = "GPLv2"

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=12f884d2ae1ff87c09e5b7ccc2c4ca7e"

 

inherit module

 

SRC_URI = "file://Makefile \

           file://rfctrl.c \

           file://rfctrl.h \

           file://COPYING \

          "

 

FILES_${PN}-dev = "/usr/include/rfctrl/linux/rfctrl.h"

 

S = "${WORKDIR}"

 

 

With a makefile:

 

obj-m := rfctrl.o

 

SRC := $(shell pwd)

 

all:

                $(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_SRC) M=$(SRC)

 

modules_install:

                $(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_SRC) M=$(SRC) modules_install

 

clean:

                rm -f *.o *~ core .depend .*.cmd *.ko *.mod.c

                rm -f Module.markers Module.symvers modules.order

                rm -rf .tmp_versions Modules.symvers

You don't, you make your library depends on your driver, and not on kernel exported headers. In my case I add the header to the -dev package and make the library compilation depend on kernel module.

# kernel-module-foo.bb <http://kernel-module-foo.bb> 

FILES_${PN}-dev = "/usr/include/foo/linux/foo.h" 

# libfoo.bb <http://libfoo.bb> 

DEPENDS = "kernel-module-foo"

Cheers

I have a recipe which builds my own (out-of-tree) driver module – this packages/installs the module fine. (It’s recipe has “inherit module”). 

Now I’m writing a recipe to build a library which uses the driver. What’s needed to get the driver’s header file ‘exported’ so that it can be included by the library’s recipe?

Thanks
