Hi,
I am trying to use a bbappend file to patch a file in $WORKDIR. To my
understanding, the native Yocto patching process only works for patching files
in $S.
I have come up with a solution:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI_append =" file://inputrc.ptch"
do_patch_append () {
cmd="patch <inputrc.ptch"
(exitstatus, output) = oe.utils.getstatusoutput(cmd)
if exitstatus != 0:
raise bb.process.CmdError(cmd, output)
return output
}
It does work. But I think this is line is not very elegant: cmd="patch
<inputrc.ptch". Using devshell, I have confirmed that the "patch" program being
executed is the one from the Yocto environment ($BUILDDIR/tmp-glibc/hosttools),
not the build host. But I still suspect there is a better way. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Jeff
