as a short followup to my earlier note about creating a bunch of
externalsrc-based recipes to demonstrate their proper structure, it's
easy to add the recipe files to a layer, but i then realized i needed
to figure out where to put the corresponding source, and how i would
refer to it with the EXTERNALSRC variable, and after some thought, it
occurred that the simplest solution is to simply put the source in a
"src" subdirectory next to the recipe itself, and use:
inherit externalsrc
EXTERNALSRC = "${THISDIR}/src"
EXTERNALSRC_BUILD = "${EXTERNALSRC}"
yes, i know this is hacky, but it demonstrates the process, and there
seems to be nothing magic about having the source right there, and all
of the standard bitbake tasks -- including cleaning -- seem to work
properly.
aside from looking weird, is there anything about this that wouldn't
work?
