Re: Adding a shared object file to rootfs

[Robert Yang <liezhi.yang@windriver.com>]

Hello,

I think that there are two problems:

1) You can use a abc.bb to add the abc.so rather than .bbappend, then you can
    add something like:
    IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "abc"

    to conf/local.conf.

2) Please see my comments inline.

The linux-yocto_3.4.bb doesn't generate a linux-yocto.rpm since linux-yocto
(the ${PN}) doesn't in PACKAGES, you can use bitbake -e linux-yocto to
see this, and if you really want to use linux-yocto_3.4.bbappend,
you can use (WARN: this is highly suggested NOT)

FILES_kernel-vmlinux += "${base_libdir}/abc.so"

Then maybe you would get the warning about unshipped  /lib/.debug
and /lib/.debug/abc.so, you need add them to kernel-vmlinux-dgb. Again,
this is highly suggested not, The suggested way is abc.bb.
