Struggling with creating recipe liblockdev

Struggling with creating recipe liblockdev

[Jack Mitchell]

I am really struggling with making a new recipe for a library called 
lockdev. It is fairly old and fairly basic but I am failling at the 
initial hurdles!

So far I have:

DESCRIPTION = "Manage character and block device lockfiles."
HOMEPAGE = 
"http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=lockdev/lockdev.git;a=summary"

LICENSE = "LGPLv2.1"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://LICENSE;md5=d8045f3b8f929c1cb29a1e3fd737b499"

PR = "r1.4"
PV = "1.0.3"

SRC_URI = 
"http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lockdev/lockdev_${PV}.orig.tar.gz 
\
            file://lockdev_1.0.3-1.4.patch \
"

SRC_URI[md5sum] = "64b9c1b87b125fc348e892e24625524a"
SRC_URI[sha256sum] = 
"ccae635d7ac3fdd50897eceb250872b3d9a191d298f213e7f0c836910d869f82"

Which gives me the error:NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies

When I enter a devshell, the LICENSE file is there but in the directory 
../liblockdev-1.0.3 not the directory I am dropped in. Where am I going 
wrong?

Your package name (from recipe file name) is "liblockdev" but the
tarball and it's contents are "lockdev".  Easiest way to solve this is
to rename liblockdev_1.0.3.bb to just lockdev_1.0.3.bb.

Alternatively, use S= to set the source directory.

Ok, I got it working with the following:

S = "${WORKDIR}/lockdev-${PV}"

I had to set S to the correct source directory. However now it is 
failing cryptically with:

Does this mean it is using the system LD rather than OE's?

You seem to be trying to use /usr/bin/cc and /usr/bin/ld to generate
target binaries.  Those should almost certainly be ${CC} and ${LD}
respectively.
