I’ve got an odd problem with a pair of recipes:

App ‘bar’ uses ‘libfoo’, so I’ve set a DEPENDS in bar.bb – I can see this is being half picked up, because ‘bitbake bar’ shows both builds being started. However bar isn’t waiting on libfoo – bar tries to compile before libfoo has even finished configuring, let alone compiled and installed it’s header (foo_lib.h) into sysroot.

I think the recipes are probably otherwise correct - if I ‘bitbake libfoo’ then ‘bitbake bar’ then all works.

I’ve looked at some simple lib recipes within poky (e.g. libwebp_0.4.3.bb / webkitgtk_2.8.5.bb), and can’t spot anything wrong/missing. Not sure if libfoo should have any ‘install’ or similar sections, or any FILES_ settings, but I was [naively…?] hoping that the inherited classes will be sorting out all that generic kinda stuff.

Anyone help please?

libfoo.bb :

…

inherit autotools lib_package binconfig-disabled pkgconfig

RPROVIDES_${PN} = "libfoo"

PROVIDES_${PN} = "libfoo"

PR = "r0"

SRC_URI = " …..<src files>….   "

S = "${WORKDIR}"

bar.bb :

….

inherit autotools binconfig-disabled pkgconfig

DEPENDS_${PN} = "libfoo"

RDEPENDS_${PN} = "libfoo"

S = "${WORKDIR}"

SRC_URI = " …..<src files>….   "

EXTRA_OEMAKE = " CFLAGS=" -I${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}/usr/include/libfoo " "

EXTRA_OEMAKE += " LDFLAGS=" -lfoo " "

libfoo Makefile.am:

lib_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la

pkginclude_HEADERS = foo_lib.h 

libfoo_la_SOURCES = $(libfoo_a_HEADERS) foo_lib.c
