Custom recipe for YOCTO

[manjunathjoshi]

Hello All,

I want to create a recipe to compile cifs-utils and bitbake with image.

I tried following YOCTO user manual and at first it was troublesome. But now, i am able to bitbake but "cifs-utils not found in the base feeds" is the error. So the last do_install is getting failed.

My recipe looks like this,

}

Now my question is cifs-utils gets compiled by AUTOTOOLS so at first i used inherit autotools but did not work.

oe-runmake error persisted.

But now there is no error but do_install fails right at the end. can anyone help ??

Take a look at this recipe:

http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-networking/recipes-support/cifs/ci...

and this very usufull link:

http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layers/

Hello Daiane,

In the first link, the recipe needs modification for enabling libcap, cifsreads etc can you suggest me the right way to modify?

I tried with,

PACKAGECONFIG[cifscreds] = "--enable-cifscreds"  ---line, but could not find the same in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin/ after build.

Even i tried with,

PACKAGECONFIG[cifscreds] = "--enable-cifscreds, ,keyutils" but could not find the same in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin/ after build.

[daiane_angolini]

have you copied the recipe over your layer? Or have you included the original layer on your bblayer.conf?

I would change bblalyer.conf, create a bbappend and add the PACKAGECONFIG line you pointed.

The (my) problem is, I don't know cifs-utils enough in order to know if configure file can actually receive "--enable-cifscreds" properly or not. Have you tested that already?

[manjunathjoshi]

Hello Daiane,

I am using

mount -t cifs //10.20.1.123/share /home/root/smbshare -o username=blahblah,password=blahblah,rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

to mount cifs on sabresd.

I am successful only when i have "mount.cifs" in /usr/sbin. This is a helper program to mount cifs on linux as you know.

To make this happen i have cross compiled "cifs-utils" and have copied mount.cifs after cross compilation to /usr/sbin. This was manual. This has worked for me.

Then i tried the same with a recipe to copy only mount.cifs. Even that was successful.

Now coming to what you have asked, i have copied the recipe over my layer. Added the layer to bblayers.conf, and i want to make the recipe changes.

For the second question you asked, i think cifsreds or cifsupcall may not be as important as mount.cifs file. But anyways they would be compiled to respective locations as discussed above.

Regards,

Manju

Ok, I am sorry for my misinterpretation :smileywink:

[daiane_angolini]

Oh, and you need

PACKAGECONFIG = cifscreds

somewhere

what is the fail message?

This is when i use "inherit autotools gettext"

I have followed another discussion with similar problem and i changed my recipe something like this,

Waiting for 0 running tasks to finish:

It is just that i am new to python and not able to know each line of code.

My aim is to copy mount.cifs file after compilation to /usr/sbin. That would do the job.
