[oe] package VDR for OE

[Paul Menzel]

Dear OE hackers,


I am trying to write a recipe for The Video Disc Recorder (VDR) [1] and
get it into OE.

Unfortunately I have never done this and I also do not know much about
things related to compiling.

I tried to follow [2] and [3] and came up with the following which is
not much as you can see and in addition does not work yet.

The problem I am facing is, that in the Makefile of VDR [4] there is

        […]
        LIBS     = -ljpeg -lpthread -ldl -lcap -lrt -lfreetype
        -lfontconfig
        INCLUDES = -I/usr/include/freetype
        […]

so that the path `/usr/include/freetype/` is passed to the make command
which of course fails trying to cross compile the program.

        CROSS COMPILE Badness: /usr/include in INCLUDEPATH: /usr/include/freetype2
        cc1plus: internal compiler error: in add_path, at c-incpath.c:425

Now, if I understand it correctly by looking at other recipes there is
EXTRA_OEMAKE = "" where I should be able to set the INCLUDEPATH to the
OE build environment. Is that correct.

Could you please also tell me what the recipe variable name is for libs?


Thank you,

Paul
