After the introduction of RSS, I still found it hard to get dependencies on some common tools that are typically installed on the build host correct. Using the wrong version of tools like pkg-config, gdbus-codegen and dbus-binding-tool can cause build failures.
To circumvent this, I created dummy versions of the tools that always fail and placed them in the scripts directory. Thus, if the real tool has not been installed in the RSS, the dummy version is used and the build fails. For good measures I even output a message that says what needs to be corrected in the recipe. Included is also an update to linux-libc-headers as it apparently needs to inherit pkgconfig, which the introduction of the dummy version of pkg-config showed. PATCHv2: Also inherit pkgconfig in module.bbclass since pkg-config is needed for the make_scripts task. PATCHv3: Add a missing Signed-off-by footer. //Peter The following changes since commit 8f1ed1758748e4c00eaa6b4b3528e79f36d62c19: bitbake: fetch2: add initial Amazon AWS S3 fetcher (2017-03-03 00:19:37 +0000) are available in the git repository at: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky-contrib pkj/dummy_tools http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=pkj/dummy_tools Peter Kjellerstedt (5): module.bbclass: Add inherit of pkgconfig linux-libc-headers: Add inherit of pkgconfig scripts/dbus-binding-tool: Add a dummy version that always fails scripts/gdbus-codegen: Add a dummy version that always fails scripts/pkg-config: Add a dummy version that always fails meta/classes/module.bbclass | 2 +- .../linux-libc-headers/linux-libc-headers.inc | 2 +- scripts/dbus-binding-tool | 11 +++++++++++ scripts/gdbus-codegen | 11 +++++++++++ scripts/pkg-config | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100755 scripts/dbus-binding-tool create mode 100755 scripts/gdbus-codegen create mode 100755 scripts/pkg-config -- 2.9.0 -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
