[oe] using deb as source while building image.

[Anup Kini]

Hi All,

I am trying to build a core image minimal for the ZYNQ board.

I am trying to include VTK library available as deb in the following
location
http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/universe/v/vtk/libvtk5.8_5.8.0-5_armhf.deb,
since its already compiled for ARM platform.

When i try to use the recipe mentioned below, nothing gets installed.
Let me know if it is possible to use the deb as a source to install
My recipe looks like below:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION = "The Visualisation Toolkit"
HOMEPAGE = "http://www.vtk.org"

LICENSE = "BSD"

SRC_URI = "
http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/universe/v/vtk/libvtk5.8_5.8.0-5_armhf.deb"

SRC_URI[md5sum] = "14945458a1e80d2990a4005c5163e01c"

# Skip the unwanted steps
do_compile[noexec] = "1"

# Install the files to ${D}
bin_package_do_install () {
    # Do it carefully
    [ -d "${S}" ] || exit 1
    cd ${S} || exit 1
    tar --no-same-owner --exclude='./patches' --exclude='./.pc'
--exclude='./control.tar.gz' -cpf - . \
        | tar --no-same-owner -xpf - -C ${D}
}

FILES_${PN} = "/"

EXPORT_FUNCTIONS do_install
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me know if there is already a reference recipe that uses such a deb
source.
