empty dirs in glib-2.0

empty dirs in glib-2.0

[Kövesdi György]

Hi,

Compiling the Angstrom Linux, in the file openembedded-core/meta/recipes-
core/glib-2.0/glib-2.0_2.30.2.bb (a85f283ffae5407b23532ce2262142ee2d986af2) 
there are the followings:

do_install_append() {
  # remove some unpackaged files
  rm -f ${D}${libdir}/gdbus-2.0/codegen/*.pyc
  rm -f ${D}${libdir}/gdbus-2.0/codegen/*.pyo
  # and empty dirs
  rmdir ${D}${libdir}/gio/modules/
  rmdir ${D}${libdir}/gio/
}

I have problems with the "empty dirs" section: the directory is not empty and 
therefore the installation fails here.
I replaced it with "rm -rf ..." and now it worx but i do not sure it is a good 
solution.
Why these directories are expected to be empty? What does it mean if they are 
not?

Thanx in advance
Gyorgy Kovesdi

rmdir was used specifically so we'd know if the directory wasn't empty.
What files are in there?

Are there any .bbappends to the glib recipe in any of your other layers?

Cheers,

...../usr/lib/gio/modules:

total 32K
drwxr-xr-x 2 kgy users 4.0K Feb 27 11:26 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 kgy users 4.0K Feb 27 11:26 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kgy users 2.0K Feb 27 11:26 libgiofam.la
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kgy users  20K Feb 27 11:26 libgiofam.so

It is reproducible now, even in a brand new checkout.

I can confirm I also just ran into this issue on an Angstrom Master 
checkout.

You can fix the issue adding --disable-fam like in glib-2.0/glib.inc

-EXTRA_OECONF_virtclass-native = "--disable-dtrace --disable-systemtap"
+EXTRA_OECONF_virtclass-native = "--disable-dtrace --disable-systemtap
--disable-fam"

The issue has been ackowledged, more tests are going on.
Fix will follow soon.

Regards

Andrea

We need to add --disable-fam to EXTRA_OECONF. Since a lot of people are
hitting this, I've pushed such a patch directly.
