Hi,

I have an image say

my-image-minimal.bb in one layer and and append this
(my-image-minimal.bbappend) in another layer.  In this append I'm adding
IMAGE_INSTALL += "kernel-modules"
for example.

Now if I run
bitbake my-image-minimal -e | grep ^IMAGE_INSTALL
I see kernel-modules

So bbappend is working, now I have another image

my-image which has
requires /core/images/my-image-minimal.bb
...

But kernel-modules is not appearing in this image and
bitbake my-image -e | grep ^IMAGE_INSTALL

confirms this.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong, I assume bitbake supports this.

I'm using the Krogoth release.

Many Thanks in advance,
Martin.

in second case you are including the .bb file so its behaving as an
include file.
bbappend only applies to parsed recipes not include files.

Thanks for the swift reply and clarifications on how requires/include works.

Don't suppose you know of the best way of handling this situation?

Not sure if it's the best way but I converted the bbappend to an image
recipe my-minimal-image-xxx.bb
and then include this as well as include will ignore it if the layer
doesn't exist. Seems to work :)

thats probably ok. you can call it a .inc file and use include instead
of require to include it
that way you can include it in multiple image recipes or bbappends in
your own layers.
