Compile Yocto project

I saw a thread here discussing how to compile sources in yocto. I am using its first method as follows:

yocto-layer create Mylayer

I have the helloworld example created. The location of source file helloworld.c is in a subfolder of the location of the .bb file. I am using makefile with this.

My aim is to add 3 folders(1. build, 2. Include and 3. source) in the location where helloworld.c is located. The build directory will contain the make file, the source diectory contains all .c/.cpp files, and the include folder conatins the include files.

When I add everything at the location of helloworld.c it compiles succesfully but When I arrange the sources as I mentioned above it doesn't compile.

How do I arrange these directories in yocto? Will there be changes in the .bb or .bbalyer files?

Solution

  • add below line in your recipe 

    FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}:"
SRC_URI += "file://hello/* "

    Also create a directory hello where the .bb present thenafter copy all your data to this hello directory. now your hello dir should be like below
    hello
    |_build
    |_include
    |_source
