[bitbake-devel] Pre-installation of software in tar.gz form with Yocto/BitBake

[Thibault FARGES]

Good evening,



I contact you because for several weeks I haven't been able to pre-install
a software in my rootfs with Yocto.

This software is provided to me by the manufacturer of a camera as a
tarball. In this tarball there are other tarballs.

In each of these subtarballs there is a tree of files to copy to the rootfs.



For example we can find in one tarball this type of tree structure:

.

+-- etc

¦   +-- init.d

¦   ¦   +-- cvmgmtd

¦   ¦   +-- siGevSvc

¦   ¦   +-- siLogSvc

¦   +-- ld.so.conf.d

¦   ¦   +-- libcvb.conf

¦   +-- profile.d

¦   ¦   +-- cvb_environment.sh

¦   +-- sudoers.d

¦   ¦   +-- keep_cvb_vars

¦   +-- sysctl.d

¦   ¦   +-- 10-cvb.conf

¦   +-- udev

¦       +-- rules.d

¦           +-- 59-cvb_u3v.rules

+-- lib

¦   +-- systemd

¦       +-- system

¦           +-- cvmgmtd.service

¦           +-- siGevSvc.service

¦           +-- siLogSvc.service

+-- opt

¦   +-- cvb -> cvb-13.01.003

¦   +-- cvb-13.01.003

¦       +-- lib

¦           +-- libCVBase.so -> libCVBase.so.1

¦           +-- libCVBase.so.1 -> libCVBase.so.1.214

¦           +-- libCVBase.so.1.214 -> libCVBase.so.1.214.306

¦

+-- usr

¦   +-- bin

¦       +-- collect-camsuite -> /opt/cvb-13.01.003/bin/collect-camsuite





In order to preinstall this software, I created a Yocto recipe:

.

+-- cvb-software

¦   +-- cvb-software.bb

¦   +-- files

¦   ¦   +-- cvb-software.tar.gz

¦   +-- README



Inspired by the DynamicDevices meta-example :
https://github.com/DynamicDevices/meta-example/blob/master/recipes-example/bbexample/bbexample-lt_1.0.bb
;

I modified the BitBake file so that it will copy all the files from the
tarball into my rootfs:



#----------------------------------------

# This file aims to preinstall the cvb software into the root file system

SUMMARY = "Simple cvb-software application"

SECTION = "PETALINUX/apps"

LICENSE = "MIT"

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "
file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MIT;md5=0835ade698e0bcf8506ecda2f7b4f302"

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := “${THISDIR}/${PN}-${PV}:”

SRC_URI = "file://cvb-software.tar.gz "

S = "${WORKDIR}"



inherit autotools

#----------------------------------------



When I build my image/kernel I got the error:



NOTE: Executing SetScene Tasks

Can you help me by telling me what the problem is or what is the best
procedure to follow to pre-install this tarball in my rootfs please?



Have a nice day,

King regards,



Thibault FARGES.



PS: In fact I use Xilinx's Petalinux tool, based on Yocto Project. But
Xilinx support redirected me to you because they can't help me on this
subject.
