No /sbin/init when deriving m7y own image

No /sbin/init when deriving m7y own image

[Hervé Fache]

Hi guys,

I am new to Poky and have created the following recipe:
    require recipes-graphics/images/core-image-x11.bb
    IMAGE_INSTALL += "omapdrmtest"

I have stored it at
meta-ti/recipes-graphics/images/core-image-x11-drmtest.bb for now, and
am building using:
    bitbake -k core-image-x11-drmtest

If I comment out the IMAGE_INSTALL line then everything is fine, but if
I leave it in then I am missing files in the filesystem, including
/sbin/init.

Can some one please let me know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Hervé

Can you try adding to CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL instead of IMAGE_INSTALL?

Thanks a lot, that did it!

I'm glad it worked for you.

But I'm still baffled why IMAGE_INSTALL didn't work. The only 2 reasons I can 
see for that are:

1. If you made a typo and used '=' instead of '+=', which would re-assign 
IMAGE_INSTALL, instead of appending to it, losing its current value.

2. Or if you tried to append to IMAGE_INSTALL before loading the base image 
recipe with 'require' (effectively, swapping the 2 lines of your recipe) - in 
that case you'd append to an empty IMAGE_INSTALL first and inside the 
core-image class it uses conditional assignment to pre-set that variable with 
system defaults. But since you already assigned to it early on, it won't be 
populated with system defaults...

Other than that, the example you showed above seems to work for me here...

Most likely case is a missing separator.  Since += adds no space, omapdrmtest
is being glued to whatever is already in that list, making the last two
packages go missing.  I'll bet that this also works:
   IMAGE_INSTALL += " omapdrmtest "

I always add those spaces since they are free :-)

That's not exactly correct. You are mistaking += and =+ with .= and =. :)

+= and =+ append and prepend with spaces, while .= and =. append and prepend 
without spaces:

http://docs.openembedded.org/bitbake/html/ch02.html#id397587

Plus, there's plenty of space already in IMAGE_INSTALL, as it is handled as a 
multi-line assignment with plenty of indentation inside core-image class...

Well, I just copied and pasted into the e-mail, so what you see it what 
I had :-)
And FWIW I also tried to add spaces everywhere to no avail!
