Deploy binaries not compiled for target / PACKAGE_STRIP = "no" does not work?

Deploy binaries not compiled for target / PACKAGE_STRIP = "no" does not work?

[Robert Budde]

Hi!

 

I am trying to write a recipe for packaging "webmin". The web-interface for
system administration is written entirely in PERL, therefore it "just" has
to be copied to the right directory (and some conf-files have to be
generated). Right now the recipe should download the right archive and copy
the files to the right directory. As the archive contains precompiled
binaries the "strip"-operations in do_package() fail!? I tried to get rid of
it by 'PACKAGE_STRIP = "no"', but that does not work.

Any ideas? Is there an alternative to tell bitbake/oe just to deploy the
files?

 

Best regards,

Ah, well the good news is I did this already :) :

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-baryon/tree/recipes-
extended/webmin/

There might be some tweaking required as we turned off a few things and applied 
some minor customisations, but it builds and works.

To turn off stripping you would do INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP ="1", however for 
something like this where there is nothing architecture-specific you would do 
"inherit allarch" which does this for you among other things. However, the 
precompiled binaries the errors refer to are actually not needed and the 
recipes I link to above just delete them before packaging.

Cheers,
Paul
