[Openembedded-users] Building a dbg image alongside a release image

[Daniel Lazzari]

Hello everyone,

I've been struggling lately with a problem involving symbols. We need
to build two images in the same build. One image should not have
symbols and will serve as our release build, the other should have
symbols and will serve as our debug image. I know that -dbg packages
already contain symbol versions, but when i add them to an image, they
always get unpacked to .debug directories. I also know I can set
DEBUG_BUILD = "1"
INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1"
But that makes the symbols appear in every rebuilt package.

Anyone know of a way to have an image use all -dbg packages and unpack
them to the correct places as if they were the regular package?

Thanks for your time,
Daniel Lazzari Jr.
