Recipe for libserial_0.6.0rc1

Recipe for libserial_0.6.0rc1

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
	I'm trying to create a recipe for libserial-0.6.0rc1. There is a  
folder called sip in the package. How can I modify the recipe to  
remove the sip folder from the list of files to be configured and  
compiled?

DESCRIPTION = "C++ library for serial port support."
SECTION = "libs"
LICENSE = "GPL"
HOMEPAGE = "http://libserial.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page 
"

SRC_URI = "${SOURCEFORGE_MIRROR}/libserial/libserial-${PV}.tar.gz"

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

inherit autotools pkgconfig

do_stage() {
	autotools_stage_all
}

Best regards,

Elvis

Try:

do_compile() {
	oe_runmake SUBDIRS="src doc examples"
}

Hi Phil,
		Thanks for the input! :-)

I made the required changes but now get the following error:

| Making all in src
| /bin/sh: line 17: cd: src: No such file or directory

Here is what the full recipe looks like:

DESCRIPTION = "C++ library for serial port support."
SECTION = "libs"
LICENSE = "GPL"
HOMEPAGE = "http://libserial.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page 
"
DEPENDS = ""

inherit autotools pkgconfig

do_compile() {
	oe_runmake SUBDIRS="src doc examples"
}

do_stage() {
	autotools_stage_all
}

It compiled all the files in src, doc and example, and then went  
looking for another sub dir called src.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "another" subdir called src.  Can
you post the actual log output that you're seeing?

The original package, has 4 sub directories, src, doc, examples and  
sip. I get some sort of configuration errors with the sip folder

I don't need it anyway, so I added the following entry like you  
suggested:

do_compile() {
	oe_runmake SUBDIRS="src doc examples"
}

command to the recipe.

It however, does the build for the src, build and examples folder, as  
seen in the logs, and then tries to find another src folder and fails.

Hi Koen,
			About the rc1 tag, that was the only version on source forge that  
compiled correctly. the existing 1.5.2 recipe doesnt even compile.

Seems to be actually another "doc" folder that it can't find:

Does it help if you put an extra layer of quoting around the directory
list, i.e. oe_runmake SUBDIRS="'src doc examples'"?  Could also try just
oe_runmake SUBDIRS=src and see if it works like that.

Just specifying SUBDIRS=src worked perfectly. :-)

However, when I specified SUBDIRS=""src examples"" , it did a rebuilt

Hi,
	My only gripe with this autotools_stage, is that all the headers just  
go flat under

/tool/overo-oe/tmp/staging/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include

instead of nicely packaging it under a libserial folder within /tool/ 
overo-oe/tmp/staging/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include

Anyway to fix this?


Best regards,

Elvis

Not easily.  The autotools class just installs the headers whereever the
package's Makefile is set up to put them.  If the library's authors have
written their makefiles to dump the headers in /usr/include rather than
in a subdirectory, that's what will happen.  (This isn't at all
uncommon, particularly for libraries with just one or two headers, and
it isn't necessarily any cause for concern.)

Plus, if this is where the package is set up to install its headers,
that's probably where other distributions are going to put them and
hence where other software is going to expect to find them.  So,
although obviously you can write a custom do_stage method to put the
headers somewhere else, it's not a good idea to do this unless you have
a particular reason to believe either that the library's authors were
seriously misguided, or that the Makefile is malfunctioning for some
reason and not putting the headers where they expected it would.

Hi Phil,
		This is the best explanation I've had on an OE aspect in months. Now  
it makes perfect sense! I didn't know that it did exactly what the  
original makefile did.

Anyway, I've learnt a bit more about OE today!! Enough to get me  
starting on working on the main project!

doing PV=0.6.0rc1 violates our versioning policy. I suggest you read the 
policy document in the wiki, it explains quite clearly why doing 
PV=0.6.0rc1 is wrong

The page could use some more details, such as definitions of PV, PN, and 
PR. But it should show would to do in this case.
