[bitbake-devel] Library not getting installed to intended path

[Yogesh Tyagi]

Hi,

I have added

gstlibdir=$(libdir)/gstreamer-0.10

gstlib_LTLIBRARIES = ....

to my Makefile.am

and removed overiding do_install() from bb file.

While creating roots ,my package was throwing QA warning

WARNING: QA Issue: gst-plugin-linux-user: Files/directories were installed
but not shipped
  /lib/gstreamer-0.10
  /lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgst................

so I have added these lines to bb file:

FILES_${PN} += "${libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/"
FILES_${PN}-dbg += "${libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/.debug"
FILES_${PN}-dev += "${libdir}/gstreamer-0.10/"

Now library is not going to rootfs at all and no Warning is there. Earlier
it was installing to "/lib" in rootfs. I want the lib to install to
"/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10" in rootfs. Please provide your suggestions.

Thanks,
Yogesh
