Thomas you're a star ;-)
I was trying that do_install but was obviously setting SRC_URI incorrectly.
I would make one observation or maybe ask another question, as a result
of your answer. In your SRC_URI you've used "file:///..." i.e. absolute
path name. I was having local build issues a few weeks ago and it turned
out that absolute paths were no longer working in OE. They're still in
the documentation but for some reason they were not working when I tried
to create a local build of libphone-ui-shr
I might test this out with your recipe and check it again. Absolute
would make it simpler.
Anyhow that's another issue, thanks a million for taking the time to
answer my question.
