where to put IMAGE_INSTALL??

where to put IMAGE_INSTALL??

[Jim Abernathy]

There seems to be some sensitivity to where I put the statement 
IMAGE_INSTALL += "web-webkit".

At first I just modifed the meta/receipes-sato/image/core-image-sato.bb 
file to include it.  That caused the webkit to be built.

Since that is not an ideal location, I removed it and put it into the 
local.conf file.  That also caused the webkit to be built, but I wanted 
it to be part of my BSP permanently.

I thought about creating a core-image-sato.bbappend file with the 
IMAGE_INSTALL += "web-webkit" in it and put that into the BSP, but that 
didn't cause the webkit to be built. Under the meta-intel/meta-n450 
directory, I created a receipes-jfa directory and put the 
core-image-sato.bbappend file there.

I must be missing a key rule about directory parsing and .bbappend files.

Look at the how the layers are parsed - this info is in <layer>/conf/layer.conf

Try putting your .bbappend file in
    .../meta-intel/meta-n450/recipes-jfa/images/core-image-sato.bbappend

I think you are correct now that I look more closely at the 
meta-n450/conf/layer.conf file.

It has:
BBFILES := "${BBFILES} ${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb \
     ${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bbappend"

which tells me that it will not find 
recipes-jfa/core-image-sato.bbappend, but will find 
meta-n450/recipes-jfa/images/core-image-sato.bbappend

I just tested your method of putting the .bbappend file in the directory 
above and it work just fine.  I also found out that you should not put 
the IMAGE_INSTALL in the local.conf.  It builds okay, but the resulting 
image will not boot.  Tom pointing me the a statement in the Poky 
reference manual about not doing this as well.
