That worked great.

Except i'm now having a strange issue, been pulling hair's out for a couple of hours ...

WARNING: QA Issue: taxi: Files/directories were installed but not shipped
/usr/share
/usr/share/java
/usr/share/java/headless.jar

And indeed, my jar file will not be bundled in the rootfs !!

Some copy-paste from my recipe :

SRC_URI = " \
file://headless .jar;unpack=0 \
"
do_install() {
install -m 0755 -d ${D}/usr/share/java
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/headless .jar ${D}/usr/share/java
}

Any clues ? If i change the path /usr/bin it works.
Is it because i'm putting it in /usr/share/java ?
But that's where all the other JAR's go ...

No problem; please feel free to ask any questions you have. I never tell
people to RTFM, although I may point to sections of the manual if they exist
to save me some typing :)

Cheers,

Damn , i did RTFM, but that's not the version i was reading.
That'll teach me !

Thanks for quick response, really sorry , for not reading the latest version of the manual.

Take care

Actually, I was mistaken - it is mentioned in the reference manual:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-SRC_URI

(FWIW, I'm happy to answer questions even if they are covered by
the manual, this is just an aside ;)

Cheers,

Hello
In a recipe i'm writing, i need to simply copy a .jar file.
Since it's specified in SRC_URI , bitbake extracts it, making WORKDIR a complete mess, and makes it impossible to copy the .jar file to destination.

How would i go about simply copying it ? Anyway to tell bitbake NOT to extract content of it ?
