From: Ricardo Simoes <[email protected]>
When creating an SDK, the populate_sdk task relies on
COMPLEMENTARY_GLOB[dev-pkgs] to decide which packages to install [1].
However, xorgproto is a header-only library, so bitbake does not emit a
main package. The only reference to the -dev package is an RRECOMMENDS
from the -dbg package, and such weak links are not honored when
installing complementary packages [2].
Fix this by setting ALLOW_EMPTY for the xorgproto package. The main
package is now emitted, which makes ${PN}-dev reachable through the
complementary packages and lets recipes that depend on xorgproto be
built with the SDK.
