Hi Markus, Have you tried doing it in the postinst step executed on your target? Try:
pkg_postinst_ontarget_${PN} () { setcap cap_net_raw+eip $D${bindir}/node } RDEPENDS_${PN} += "libcap-bin" /ptw > I have tested to set capabilities on the node binary within a custom recipe > (custom layer) but that failed. > > pkg_postinst_${PN} () { > setcap cap_net_raw+eip $D${bindir}/node > } > PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS = "libcap-native" > RDEPENDS_${PN} = "libcap" > > The error message: > > ERROR: core-image-full-cmdline-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: [log_check] > core-image-full-cmdline: found 1 error message in the logfile: > [log_check] Failed to set capabilities on file > `/home/ubuntu/yocto-sumo/build/tmp/work/raspberrypi3-poky-linux-gnueabi/core > -image-full-cmdline/1.0-r0/rootfs/usr/bin/node' (No such file or directory) > > When I check the node binary is there in the rootfs directory.
