Recipes issues

Some files are not added to the image

do_install

Be sure that the do_install task installs your files in ${D} directory.

FILES_${PN}

Installing files in ${D} is not enough, you also need to add the files/directories that needs to be included in the image in the FILES_${PN} variable.

Special files

Some files are not meant to be included in certain types of images.

For example, .so libraries without specific versions are forbidden in the final system, as programs needs to be dynamically linked with the exact version of library they depend of.

A workaraound for this is to define SOLIBSDEV to any extension, so .so files are not considered as dynamic libraries for this recipe.
