Library not getting installed to intended path

Library not getting installed to intended path

[Yogesh Tyagi]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1049 bytes --]

Hi,

I am using yocto 1.6 and I have written a component and written bitbake
recipe file for this component. When rootfs is created my library is found
in "/lib" directory but I want it to be installed to
"/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10" directory (which is already created by open
source gstreamer packages).

Following is the content of my bb file:

DESCRIPTION = "Plugin for support in GStreamer"

LICENSE = "BSD | LGPLv2.1"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=7e2d09b34a9cdf39567252d39ce57cca"

DEPENDS = "virtual/libc \
           system-utils \
           gstreamer \
           gst-plugins-base \
          "

PR = "r0"

TD_PKG_REPO = "td-gst-plugin"

inherit autotools td_package td_paths

Makefile.am of my component is pretty basic. It does not modify any default
installations path.
I have tried different options like adding "FILES_${PN}" to bb file and
writing do_install() function but not able to install my lib to
"/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10". Can somebody please help me with this issue?

Thanks,
Yogesh

This is under the control of your makefiles, so you'll need to share
those.  My guess is that you're using a variable name in the makefile that
has a defined meaning in automake so your assignment gets overridden.

(also, this isn't anything to do with development of bitbake, so this
discussion should be on yocto@)

Hi,

I have added these two lines to my Makefile.am:

AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10)
libdir='/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10'

and following lines to bb file:

FILES_${PN} += "${libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/"
FILES_${PN}-dbg += "${libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/.debug"


do_install() {
  install -D -m 0755 ${S}/*.so* ${D}/{libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/
}

when rootfs is created I am getting QA warning:

WARNING: QA Issue: fsmd-gst-plugin-linux-user: Files/directories were
installed but not shipped
  /usr/lib
  /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10
  /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstflt.so

and libs are not going to rootfs.

Thanks,
Yogesh

Yeah, don't do that.  Do this instead:

gstlibdir = $(libdir)/gstreamer-0.10
gstlib_LTLIBRARIES = ...

You don't need to override do_install as automake's install will do the
right thing if you inherit autotools.

Hi,

I have added

gstlibdir=$(libdir)/gstreamer-0.10

gstlib_LTLIBRARIES = ....

to my Makefile.am

and removed overiding do_install() from bb file.

While creating roots ,my package was throwing QA warning

WARNING: QA Issue: gst-plugin-linux-user: Files/directories were installed
but not shipped
  /lib/gstreamer-0.10
  /lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgst................

so I have added these lines to bb file:

FILES_${PN} += "${libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/"
FILES_${PN}-dbg += "${libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/.debug"
FILES_${PN}-dev += "${libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/"

Now library is not going to rootfs at all and no Warning is there. Earlier
it was installing to "/lib" in rootfs. I want the lib to install to
"/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10" in rootfs. Please provide your suggestions.

Thanks,
Yogesh

Remove FILES_PN-dev, there's nothing in that directory that makes sense in
the context of development and as PN-dev is packaged before PN all your
files are in that package.

Hi,

If I remove
FILES_${PN}-dev += "${libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/"

I get this error:

That QA test is over-keen and that's a false-positive, but the real fix is
in your makefile.  Pass -module -avoid-version to libtool as you're
building modules, not libraries.

Hi,

The library for which I passed -module and and -avoid-version in
Makefile.am is not going to rootfs.

libgstfl_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version

library is installed if I add this line to Makefile.am

libdir = /lib/gstreamer-0.10

and these to bb file

FILES_${PN} += "/lib/gstreamer-0.10"
FILES_${PN}-dbg += "/lib/gstreamer-0.10/.debug"
INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "dev-so

Is this correct to use INSANE_SKIP or is it not recommended?

Should I consider not to inherit autotools?  I have seen a lot of packages
doing that. In this case whattever path I assign here in FILES variable ,
my library is installed to that path but with autotools I have to use
INSANE_SKIP option.

Thanks,
Yogesh

dev-so is "symlink .so isn't in a -dev package", there's isn't a check for
".so isn't a symlink" as that would trigger for every plugin.

Hi,

I have not overridden any variable but when I printed "libdir" in Makefile,
it's value is "/lib" . This should be the reason why my libs were not
getting installed to /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10. But why this is happening? As
per bitbake documentation  "libdir" should be /usr/lib and I also confirmed
this by

bitbake -e|grep libdir

How come it is changes in Makefile.

Thanks,
Yogesh

If bitbake thinks its /usr/lib then your configure or makefile is
overriding it.

Hi,

I searched all the packages in my repo and I have observed that all those
packages which inherit autotools have "libdir" set to /lib and others have
libdir set to "/usr/lib" in Makefile.

Thanks,

The path created by the GStreamer packages is /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10,
unless you've been changing $prefix.

Your Makefile.am should have something like this:

# Plugins go in a subdirectory of libdir
plugindir=$(libdir)/gstreamer-0.10
plugin_LTLIBRARIES=libsomething.la
libsomething_la_SOURCES = something.c
# This is a module not a library, and don't version it
libsomething_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version

$(libdir) is turned into a real path by configure, and the autotools class
will pass the correct path to use.  Your recipe should then:

inherit autotools
FILES_${PN} = ${libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/*.so

At no point do you need to set libdir yourself, as the autotools class will
pass the right value from your distro configuration to the configure
script, which sets the right value in the Makefile.
