[oe] [meta-qt5] populate_sdk_ext fails

[Mike Nicholson]

Hello,

I sent the following the the openembedded-issues email list last month with no response.  I wanted to follow up with openembedded-devel in case ‘issues’ wasn’t the right mailing list.

I’m attempting to generate an extensible SDK that includes the meta-qt5 layer.  Generating a standard sdk via Yocto works just fine but generating the extensible sdk fails with the following error:
 
| NOTE: Executing create_sdk_files ...
| DEBUG: Executing shell function create_sdk_files
| touch: cannot touch '/home/nic47222/Projects/viavi-platform/viavi-bsp/build/tmp/work/mts-poky-linux-gnueabi/viavi-image-qt5/1.0-r0/sdk-ext/image//opt/poky/2.1.1/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/qt5/qt.conf': No such file or directory
 
It appears that here https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/blob/9aa870eecf6dc7a87678393bd55b97e21033ab48/classes/populate_sdk_qt5_base.bbclass#L7 the directory that should contain the qt.conf file does not exist.
 
Are there known issues with the populate_sdk_ext command and the meta-qt5 layer?
 
I can get generate the extensible SDK just fine if I make the following changes:
 
diff --git a/classes/populate_sdk_qt5_base.bbclass b/classes/populate_sdk_qt5_base.bbclass
index b6ce596..b66fe25 100644

Thank you in advance for any help.
