Re: [yocto] [meta-mingw]: Static libraries

2020-06-16 Thread Edgar Chaves 
I see.

Now, I can tell that you can add manually curl-staticdev to the target. Or
it also gets deployed with the SDKIMAGE_FEATURES. But not for libgcc,
because libgcc-staticdev package does not exist, and that's why
SDKIMAGE_FEATURES couldn't deploy it. I know this now.

The way meta-mingw manage this is adding them, through files
meta-mingw/recipes-devtools/gcc/libgcc_%.bbappend, like this:

FILES_${PN}-dev_append_mingw32 = " ${base_libdir}/libgcc*.a"

However, it makes no sense to me to add static libraries to a dynamic
package. Wouldn't better just to make the package!?

This is my questions:
1. Is this recipe-append intended to be used by nativesdk-libgcc-dev or
libgcc-dev?
2. What would be a use case of adding a nativesdk-libgcc/nativesdk-libgcc-dev
to the host? Is this handle automatically anytime you append to target?

Thank you.

 Hi

 I want to ask about meta-mingw static libraries for Windows. The thing
 is that I don't get ".lib" in the SDK. Do you have any information about
 that?

 meta-mingw is primarily intended to build and SDK that allows you to
 cross compile for a Linux target from a Windows host, so including the
 static libraries for the Windows portions doesn't really make sense. I
 think there has been a little discussions about making and SDK that cross
 compiles for Windows, but I don't recall where that went.

 Perhaps you can clarify what your use case is?



 Thank you, I'd appreciate your answer.

nativesdk-*-staticdev packages shouldn't be included in the SDK. 
nativesdk- recipes are intended to run on the host where the SDK is 
extracted, and that SDK will be used to compile software for some 
target. The SDK isn't intended to be able to compile more software for 
running on the SDK host itself, so none of the development files for 
nativesdk recipes are included in SDK iteself.


Practically speaking, this means that the SDK will not include a package 
like nativesdk-curl-staticdev (which is used to build SDK host 
software), but it could include curl-staticdev (which is used by the SDK 
to build target software).

I believe the layer and recipes are missing some packaging,
therefore I'm missing /some/ .a libraries in the SDK.

Something like this: FILES_${PN} += " ${baselib_dir}"
