[meta-mono] Question about Q/A installed vs shipped failure

[Alex J Lennon]

Hi,

I'm looking at at the gtk-sharp recipe in meta-mono: 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-mono/tree/recipes-mono/gtk-sharp/gtk-sharp_2.10.2.bb

This defines the contents of various gtk-sharp related packages making 
use of FILES_foo = and PACKAGES =

When I try to build against the Yocto head it fails a Q/A check with 
"ERROR: QA Issue: gtk-sharp: Files/directories were installed but not 
shipped"

Normally I would expect the extraneous files to be found in the image 
tree and add do_install_append() to rm the unneeded files from {$}D/foo/bar

However the behaviour of this recipe seems different.

For some reason the extraneous files are being found in the ../package 
tree. They are put there by the do_package() step, which is executed 
after my do_install_append().

I have tried adding a do_package_append() which I thought might help but 
bitbake won't accept this.

Can anybody advise:

(a) if files being in ./package indicates a problem with the recipe or 
if this is correct behaviour, and
(b) what is recommended practice to deal with this?

For now I am adding INSANE_SKIP_${PN} = "installed-vs-shipped" to the 
recipe but I'd rather not disable Q/A in this manner.

Thanks,

Alex

I have expecienced a simillar behaviour while building an application using 
qmake. In my case all the source-files where for some reason copied into the 
package-directory like you descrive.

I did the same thing.

This sounds a bit odd. Out of curiosity I just built gtk-sharp and it seems to 
me the files it's reporting as unpackages are under image/, which should allow 
them to be deleted. What are you adding to the recipe to try to fix this?

This shouldn't be necessary.

Hi Paul,

I've been into a devshell and can see the files, on my system at least, 
are definitely in package/ not image/

I'm currently in the midst of adding support for Mono 3.2.3 into a fork 
I took of the Yocto latest meta-mono repo

My current sandbox repo is here: 
git@git.assembla.com:ciseco-eve.meta-mono.git (web: 
https://www.assembla.com/code/ciseco-eve/git-2/nodes)

It's now building Mono 3.2.3 and running console only .exes but I'm 
having some trouble with support for Windows Forms which I'm looking into.

I'm building for qemux86 with, what I believe is, Yocto head:

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.21.0"
BUILD_SYS         = "i686-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING   = "Ubuntu-12.04"
TARGET_SYS        = "i586-poky-linux"
MACHINE           = "qemux86"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.5+snapshot-20131101"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "m32 i586"
TARGET_FPU        = ""
meta
meta-yocto        = "master:523f2a9ea970713fb775bc48f84b67420b1106a0"
meta-oe
meta-efl          = "master:3000970fcd979ac2d68ef406778dbc4da86da73f"
meta-fsl-arm      = "master:88117e976c16f22b9bbfeb26a52088e31f1d0c4d"
meta-fsl-arm-extra = "master:5b753d3d130ed6932715329d0e887a015e628766"
meta-fsl-demos    = "master:87233da97fe0ead245773e092acb56faa24f3835"
meta-mono         = "master:0c2655fc8037d9aa46e884f9bac5c52c7ff7ae8e"

Best Regards,

Alex
