[meta-qt5] populate_sdk_ext fails

[meta-qt5] populate_sdk_ext fails

[Mike Nicholson]

Hello,

I sent the following the the openembedded-issues email list last month with no response.  I wanted to follow up with openembedded-devel in case ‘issues’ wasn’t the right mailing list.

I’m attempting to generate an extensible SDK that includes the meta-qt5 layer.  Generating a standard sdk via Yocto works just fine but generating the extensible sdk fails with the following error:
 
| NOTE: Executing create_sdk_files ...
| DEBUG: Executing shell function create_sdk_files
| touch: cannot touch '/home/nic47222/Projects/viavi-platform/viavi-bsp/build/tmp/work/mts-poky-linux-gnueabi/viavi-image-qt5/1.0-r0/sdk-ext/image//opt/poky/2.1.1/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/qt5/qt.conf': No such file or directory
 
It appears that here https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/blob/9aa870eecf6dc7a87678393bd55b97e21033ab48/classes/populate_sdk_qt5_base.bbclass#L7 the directory that should contain the qt.conf file does not exist.
 
Are there known issues with the populate_sdk_ext command and the meta-qt5 layer?
 
I can get generate the extensible SDK just fine if I make the following changes:
 
diff --git a/classes/populate_sdk_qt5_base.bbclass b/classes/populate_sdk_qt5_base.bbclass
index b6ce596..b66fe25 100644

Thank you in advance for any help.

This ML is correct one, openembedded-issues is quite dead with only 3
e-mails in last 5 years.

This looks OK to me, not sure why you're first one to report that (I'm
not using extensible SDKs), could you please send proper patch with this
(as described in README file)?

As Martin indicated you may be among the first people to try it.

So this is interesting. Whilst this is the most obvious fix, I think this 
indicates a deeper issue may be present. The directory isn't there because the 
eSDK works differently than the standard SDK for which this class was 
obviously designed - it has an OE-style sysroot that appears under tmp/ within 
the SDK, not at the location this is writing to, so I'm not sure this will 
work as desired. Have you tried installing and using the SDK after building it 
successfully?

Cheers,
Paul
