Set a runtime dependency on libsdl2 for the libsdl2-tests package.
Any clue on why this isn't automatic? Do the application in the test
package not link to libsdl2?
This isn't automatic because a custom package is created using the
PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN
variable, so I need to explicitly set its dependencies.
Odd, wasn't aware that would mess up the automatic dependency
tracking. So side
question then, why use `PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN`? What is special about this
recipe
that the test package can't be a normally added sub-package?
Normally the packaging rules for ${PN} are evaluated first in the
do_package_split task. I use PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN for two reasons: it
automatically creates the package, and it evaluates FILES:${PN}-tests
before FILES:${PN}. Without this, test binaries would end up in the main
package since both packages claim ${libexecdir}.
Currently, when SDL_TESTS is enabled, the test binaries have SDL2
libs statically
compiled in. However, I'm sending a revision to add support for
dynamic linking instead.
This is needed because customers using the sysroots to cross-compile
their applications
have the SDL2 libraries available in their build environment, but the
binaries can't run
since those libraries don't exist in the target filesystem.
Sounds good. BTW, any idea why the tests statically linked with the
library before?
Even if the library includes both dynamic and static libs, I would
expect the default
to always be dynamic linking (saves space, upgradable, etc..)
The default build type for tests back in 2018 was expecting the test
executables to dynamically link with libsdl2 until
6cf4d0e43bf12de05374e07eb076a0c73b6f95b1 commit. The reasoning behind
the switch is not documented within the commit unfortunately. I will ask
the SDL community if they have any further info.
