Question about package prefix

Question about package prefix

[Giuseppe Condorelli]

Hi All,

I need to package against a different prefix using rpm. I mean, I don't
want to have to files located with
the absolute path (i.e. /usr/lib/ etc...) but I need to have them under a
specified path.
How can I obtain this? I saw conf/bitbake.conf contains many variable to be
accordingly set (prefix, exec_prefix, etc...)
but if I modify them the build will be broken. Also, looking at the
distro/<distros>.conf files I have not seen nothing similar.
Please can you suggest me something to solve my issue?

Thanks,
Giuseppe

write do_install so they get installed in the new location.

Thanks so much!!!
Do you mean I have to write a unified (in distro/machine conf dir)
do_install to be propagated to all the built packages?

hmm I thought you wanted to do it just for one package.
do you want whole image to be relocated to this location.
the see how micro does it look at meta-micro

Re: Question about package prefix

[Giuseppe Condorelli]

I'm sorry but I'm not able to find the meta-micro file. I searched it
under meta directory without success (openembedded git repos).
Any suggestions?

Re: Question about package prefix

[Giuseppe Condorelli]

Hi All,

looking at the link Paul suggested me I cannot see anything that can be
address me to solve my problem.
The lone modification I can see here is the prefix, exec_prefix, etc...
setting inside micro.conf file, but this
is not good to help me.
I'm showing an example:

1) imagine we have a package rpm, for example zlib
2) rpm -qpli zlib.rpm (let me to call the package in this manner) will show
a list of the included files plus other info.
   All of those will have absolute path (/usr, etc...)
3) What I need is to change this to a prefixed one (for example
/opt/test/distro/usr, etc...)
4) I need this for all package in my distribution
5) Is there a solution for this?

Thanks for all people that will try to help me.
Best Regards,
Giuseppe

So I'm not entirely sure I understand why this doesn't solve your problem. For 
your purposes you should have your own distro config file 
(conf/distro/distroname.conf) and set DISTRO = "distroname" in local.conf, and 
AFAICT then you should just need to set the *_prefix variables in the distro 
config as micro.conf does. You can look at classes/nativesdk.bbclass in OE-Core 
for another example of setting these prefixes.

Cheers,
Paul

What micro.conf does is to put all the *_prefix variables to "".
Also to create an sdk is not my scope, I need to build a base-image distro
and, running "bitbake base-image", this will not use nativesdk.bbclass
AFAIK.
I tried to modify *_prefix variables but, everytime, build failed at a
given point.
I repeat, what I need is to obtain the rpm packages with %files containing
relocated information (see above).

What's your idea?

Giuseppe

I'm not suggesting you should use nativesdk.bbclass, I'm suggesting it as an 
example you can look at where the *_prefix variables are being set.

Where did it fail? Please provide the error output.
