>I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding how recipes work. At a very high level, recipes are used to compile sources into installable packages (e.g. ipk or rpm files) and then (as a separate step) an image recipe creates the rootfs by unpacking a set of installable packages. One recipe can depend on the output of another (e.g. an image recipe depends on the installable packages created by other recipes) but each recipe has it's own execution environment. You can't expect to write a recipe which changes the behaviour of another recipe, so writing a new recipe to remove some files from the rootfs created by the image recipe is fundamentally wrong. It's never going to work, even if you fix every typo. As suggested already, the normal and recommended way to remove files from the rootfs is: 1) Remove the package which provides the file(s) from the image you are building (ie don't install the files in the rootfs at all). If the file(s) you want to remove don't match the granularity of the installable packages (ie you want to keep some files provided by a package but remove others) then you have two basic options: 2) Spilt the installable package into multiple smaller installable packages (ie modify the packaging rules in the recipe which creates the installable package). 3) Postprocess the rootfs. For that to work, you need to add the postprocessing function ** TO THE IMAGE RECIPE **. -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
