+QA Error and Warning Messages

+
+Introduction
+============
+
+When building a recipe, the OpenEmbedded build system performs various
+QA checks on the output to ensure that common issues are detected and
+reported. Sometimes when you create a new recipe to build new software,
+it will build with no problems. When this is not the case, or when you
+have QA issues building any software, it could take a little time to
+resolve them.
+
+While it is tempting to ignore a QA message or even to disable QA
+checks, it is best to try and resolve any reported QA issues. This
+chapter provides a list of the QA messages and brief explanations of the
+issues you could encounter so that you can properly resolve problems.
+
+The next section provides a list of all QA error and warning messages
+based on a default configuration. Each entry provides the message or
+error form along with an explanation.
+
+.. note::
+
+ - At the end of each message, the name of the associated QA test (as
+ listed in the ":ref:`insane.bbclass <ref-classes-insane>`"
+ section) appears within square brackets.
+
+ - As mentioned, this list of error and warning messages is for QA
+ checks only. The list does not cover all possible build errors or
+ warnings you could encounter.
+
+ - Because some QA checks are disabled by default, this list does not
+ include all possible QA check errors and warnings.
+
+.. _qa-errors-and-warnings:
+
+Errors and Warnings
+===================
+
+- ``<packagename>: <path> is using libexec please relocate to <libexecdir> [libexec]``
+
+ The specified package contains files in ``/usr/libexec`` when the
+ distro configuration uses a different path for ``<libexecdir>`` By
+ default, ``<libexecdir>`` is ``$prefix/libexec``. However, this
+ default can be changed (e.g. ``${libdir}``).
+
+  
+
+- ``package <packagename> contains bad RPATH <rpath> in file <file> [rpaths]``
+
+ The specified binary produced by the recipe contains dynamic library
+ load paths (rpaths) that contain build system paths such as
+ :term:`TMPDIR`, which are incorrect for the target and
+ could potentially be a security issue. Check for bad ``-rpath``
+ options being passed to the linker in your
+ :ref:`ref-tasks-compile` log. Depending on the build
+ system used by the software being built, there might be a configure
+ option to disable rpath usage completely within the build of the
+ software.
+
+  
+
+- ``<packagename>: <file> contains probably-redundant RPATH <rpath> [useless-rpaths]``
+
+ The specified binary produced by the recipe contains dynamic library
+ load paths (rpaths) that on a standard system are searched by default
+ by the linker (e.g. ``/lib`` and ``/usr/lib``). While these paths
+ will not cause any breakage, they do waste space and are unnecessary.
+ Depending on the build system used by the software being built, there
+ might be a configure option to disable rpath usage completely within
+ the build of the software.
+
+  
+
+- ``<packagename> requires <files>, but no providers in its RDEPENDS [file-rdeps]``
+
+ A file-level dependency has been identified from the specified
+ package on the specified files, but there is no explicit
+ corresponding entry in :term:`RDEPENDS`. If
+ particular files are required at runtime then ``RDEPENDS`` should be
+ declared in the recipe to ensure the packages providing them are
+ built.
+
+  
+
+- ``<packagename1> rdepends on <packagename2>, but it isn't a build dependency? [build-deps]``
+
+ A runtime dependency exists between the two specified packages, but
+ there is nothing explicit within the recipe to enable the
+ OpenEmbedded build system to ensure that dependency is satisfied.
+ This condition is usually triggered by an
+ :term:`RDEPENDS` value being added at the packaging
+ stage rather than up front, which is usually automatic based on the
+ contents of the package. In most cases, you should change the recipe
+ to add an explicit ``RDEPENDS`` for the dependency.
+
+  
+
+- ``non -dev/-dbg/nativesdk- package contains symlink .so: <packagename> path '<path>' [dev-so]``
+
+ Symlink ``.so`` files are for development only, and should therefore
+ go into the ``-dev`` package. This situation might occur if you add
+ ``*.so*`` rather than ``*.so.*`` to a non-dev package. Change
+ :term:`FILES` (and possibly
+ :term:`PACKAGES`) such that the specified ``.so``
+ file goes into an appropriate ``-dev`` package.
+
+  
+
+- ``non -staticdev package contains static .a library: <packagename> path '<path>' [staticdev]``
+
+ Static ``.a`` library files should go into a ``-staticdev`` package.
+ Change :term:`FILES` (and possibly
+ :term:`PACKAGES`) such that the specified ``.a`` file
+ goes into an appropriate ``-staticdev`` package.
+
+  
+
+- ``<packagename>: found library in wrong location [libdir]``
+
+ The specified file may have been installed into an incorrect
+ (possibly hardcoded) installation path. For example, this test will
+ catch recipes that install ``/lib/bar.so`` when ``${base_libdir}`` is
+ "lib32". Another example is when recipes install
+ ``/usr/lib64/foo.so`` when ``${libdir}`` is "/usr/lib". False
+ positives occasionally exist. For these cases add "libdir" to
+ :term:`INSANE_SKIP` for the package.
+
+  
+
+- ``non debug package contains .debug directory: <packagename> path <path> [debug-files]``
+
+ The specified package contains a ``.debug`` directory, which should
+ not appear in anything but the ``-dbg`` package. This situation might
+ occur if you add a path which contains a ``.debug`` directory and do
+ not explicitly add the ``.debug`` directory to the ``-dbg`` package.
+ If this is the case, add the ``.debug`` directory explicitly to
+ ``FILES_${PN}-dbg``. See :term:`FILES` for additional
+ information on ``FILES``.
+
+  
+
+- ``Architecture did not match (<machine_arch> to <file_arch>) on <file> [arch]``
+
+ By default, the OpenEmbedded build system checks the Executable and
+ Linkable Format (ELF) type, bit size, and endianness of any binaries
+ to ensure they match the target architecture. This test fails if any
+ binaries do not match the type since there would be an
+ incompatibility. The test could indicate that the wrong compiler or
+ compiler options have been used. Sometimes software, like
+ bootloaders, might need to bypass this check. If the file you receive
+ the error for is firmware that is not intended to be executed within
+ the target operating system or is intended to run on a separate
+ processor within the device, you can add "arch" to
+ :term:`INSANE_SKIP` for the package. Another
+ option is to check the :ref:`ref-tasks-compile` log
+ and verify that the compiler options being used are correct.
+
+  
+
+- ``Bit size did not match (<machine_bits> to <file_bits>) <recipe> on <file> [arch]``
+
+ By default, the OpenEmbedded build system checks the Executable and
+ Linkable Format (ELF) type, bit size, and endianness of any binaries
+ to ensure they match the target architecture. This test fails if any
+ binaries do not match the type since there would be an
+ incompatibility. The test could indicate that the wrong compiler or
+ compiler options have been used. Sometimes software, like
+ bootloaders, might need to bypass this check. If the file you receive
+ the error for is firmware that is not intended to be executed within
+ the target operating system or is intended to run on a separate
+ processor within the device, you can add "arch" to
+ :term:`INSANE_SKIP` for the package. Another
+ option is to check the :ref:`ref-tasks-compile` log
+ and verify that the compiler options being used are correct.
+
+  
+
+- ``Endianness did not match (<machine_endianness> to <file_endianness>) on <file> [arch]``
+
+ By default, the OpenEmbedded build system checks the Executable and
+ Linkable Format (ELF) type, bit size, and endianness of any binaries
+ to ensure they match the target architecture. This test fails if any
+ binaries do not match the type since there would be an
+ incompatibility. The test could indicate that the wrong compiler or

+ :term:`INSANE_SKIP` for the package. Another
+ option is to check the :ref:`ref-tasks-compile` log
+ and verify that the compiler options being used are correct.
+
+  
+
+- ``ELF binary '<file>' has relocations in .text [textrel]``
+
+ The specified ELF binary contains relocations in its ``.text``
+ sections. This situation can result in a performance impact at
+ runtime.
+
+ Typically, the way to solve this performance issue is to add "-fPIC"
+ or "-fpic" to the compiler command-line options. For example, given
+ software that reads :term:`CFLAGS` when you build it,
+ you could add the following to your recipe:
+ ::
+
+ CFLAGS_append = " -fPIC "
+
+ For more information on text relocations at runtime, see
+ http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/textrelocs.html.
+
+  
+
+- ``No GNU_HASH in the elf binary: '<file>' [ldflags]``
+
+ This indicates that binaries produced when building the recipe have
+ not been linked with the :term:`LDFLAGS` options
+ provided by the build system. Check to be sure that the ``LDFLAGS``
+ variable is being passed to the linker command. A common workaround
+ for this situation is to pass in ``LDFLAGS`` using
+ :term:`TARGET_CC_ARCH` within the recipe as
+ follows:
+ ::
+
+ TARGET_CC_ARCH += "${LDFLAGS}"
+
+  
+
+- ``Package <packagename> contains Xorg driver (<driver>) but no xorg-abi- dependencies [xorg-driver-abi]``
+
+ The specified package contains an Xorg driver, but does not have a
+ corresponding ABI package dependency. The xserver-xorg recipe
+ provides driver ABI names. All drivers should depend on the ABI
+ versions that they have been built against. Driver recipes that
+ include ``xorg-driver-input.inc`` or ``xorg-driver-video.inc`` will
+ automatically get these versions. Consequently, you should only need
+ to explicitly add dependencies to binary driver recipes.
+
+  
+
+- ``The /usr/share/info/dir file is not meant to be shipped in a particular package. [infodir]``
+
+ The ``/usr/share/info/dir`` should not be packaged. Add the following
+ line to your :ref:`ref-tasks-install` task or to your
+ ``do_install_append`` within the recipe as follows:
+ ::
+
+ rm ${D}${infodir}/dir
+  
+
+- ``Symlink <path> in <packagename> points to TMPDIR [symlink-to-sysroot]``
+
+ The specified symlink points into :term:`TMPDIR` on the
+ host. Such symlinks will work on the host. However, they are clearly
+ invalid when running on the target. You should either correct the
+ symlink to use a relative path or remove the symlink.
+
+  
+
+- ``<file> failed sanity test (workdir) in path <path> [la]``
+
+ The specified ``.la`` file contains :term:`TMPDIR`
+ paths. Any ``.la`` file containing these paths is incorrect since
+ ``libtool`` adds the correct sysroot prefix when using the files
+ automatically itself.
+
+  
+
+- ``<file> failed sanity test (tmpdir) in path <path> [pkgconfig]``
+
+ The specified ``.pc`` file contains
+ :term:`TMPDIR`\ ``/``\ :term:`WORKDIR`
+ paths. Any ``.pc`` file containing these paths is incorrect since
+ ``pkg-config`` itself adds the correct sysroot prefix when the files
+ are accessed.
+
+  
+
+- ``<packagename> rdepends on <debug_packagename> [debug-deps]``
+
+ A dependency exists between the specified non-dbg package (i.e. a
+ package whose name does not end in ``-dbg``) and a package that is a
+ ``dbg`` package. The ``dbg`` packages contain debug symbols and are
+ brought in using several different methods:
+
+ - Using the ``dbg-pkgs``
+ :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES` value.
+
+ - Using :term:`IMAGE_INSTALL`.
+
+ - As a dependency of another ``dbg`` package that was brought in
+ using one of the above methods.
+
+ The dependency might have been automatically added because the
+ ``dbg`` package erroneously contains files that it should not contain
+ (e.g. a non-symlink ``.so`` file) or it might have been added
+ manually (e.g. by adding to :term:`RDEPENDS`).
+
+  
+
+- ``<packagename> rdepends on <dev_packagename> [dev-deps]``
+
+ A dependency exists between the specified non-dev package (a package
+ whose name does not end in ``-dev``) and a package that is a ``dev``
+ package. The ``dev`` packages contain development headers and are
+ usually brought in using several different methods:
+
+ - Using the ``dev-pkgs``
+ :term:`IMAGE_FEATURES` value.
+
+ - Using :term:`IMAGE_INSTALL`.
+
+ - As a dependency of another ``dev`` package that was brought in
+ using one of the above methods.
+
+ The dependency might have been automatically added (because the
+ ``dev`` package erroneously contains files that it should not have
+ (e.g. a non-symlink ``.so`` file) or it might have been added
+ manually (e.g. by adding to :term:`RDEPENDS`).
+
+  
+
+- ``<var>_<packagename> is invalid: <comparison> (<value>) only comparisons <, =, >, <=, and >= are allowed [dep-cmp]``
+
+ If you are adding a versioned dependency relationship to one of the
+ dependency variables (:term:`RDEPENDS`,
+ :term:`RRECOMMENDS`,
+ :term:`RSUGGESTS`,
+ :term:`RPROVIDES`,
+ :term:`RREPLACES`, or
+ :term:`RCONFLICTS`), you must only use the named
+ comparison operators. Change the versioned dependency values you are
+ adding to match those listed in the message.
+
+  
+
+- ``<recipename>: The compile log indicates that host include and/or library paths were used. Please check the log '<logfile>' for more information. [compile-host-path]``
+
+ The log for the :ref:`ref-tasks-compile` task
+ indicates that paths on the host were searched for files, which is
+ not appropriate when cross-compiling. Look for "is unsafe for
+ cross-compilation" or "CROSS COMPILE Badness" in the specified log
+ file.
+
+  
+
+- ``<recipename>: The install log indicates that host include and/or library paths were used. Please check the log '<logfile>' for more information. [install-host-path]``
+
+ The log for the :ref:`ref-tasks-install` task
+ indicates that paths on the host were searched for files, which is
+ not appropriate when cross-compiling. Look for "is unsafe for
+ cross-compilation" or "CROSS COMPILE Badness" in the specified log
+ file.
+
+  
+
+- ``This autoconf log indicates errors, it looked at host include and/or library paths while determining system capabilities. Rerun configure task after fixing this. The path was '<path>'``
+
+ The log for the :ref:`ref-tasks-configure` task
+ indicates that paths on the host were searched for files, which is
+ not appropriate when cross-compiling. Look for "is unsafe for
+ cross-compilation" or "CROSS COMPILE Badness" in the specified log
+ file.
+
+  
+
+- ``<packagename> doesn't match the [a-z0-9.+-]+ regex [pkgname]``
+
+ The convention within the OpenEmbedded build system (sometimes
+ enforced by the package manager itself) is to require that package
+ names are all lower case and to allow a restricted set of characters.
+ If your recipe name does not match this, or you add packages to
+ :term:`PACKAGES` that do not conform to the
+ convention, then you will receive this error. Rename your recipe. Or,
+ if you have added a non-conforming package name to ``PACKAGES``,
+ change the package name appropriately.
+
+  
+
+- ``<recipe>: configure was passed unrecognized options: <options> [unknown-configure-option]``
+
+ The configure script is reporting that the specified options are
+ unrecognized. This situation could be because the options were
+ previously valid but have been removed from the configure script. Or,
+ there was a mistake when the options were added and there is another
+ option that should be used instead. If you are unsure, consult the
+ upstream build documentation, the ``./configure --help`` output, and
+ the upstream change log or release notes. Once you have worked out
+ what the appropriate change is, you can update
+ :term:`EXTRA_OECONF`,
+ :term:`PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS`, or the
+ individual :term:`PACKAGECONFIG` option values
+ accordingly.
+
+  
+
+- ``Recipe <recipefile> has PN of "<recipename>" which is in OVERRIDES, this can result in unexpected behavior. [pn-overrides]``
+
+ The specified recipe has a name (:term:`PN`) value that
+ appears in :term:`OVERRIDES`. If a recipe is named
+ such that its ``PN`` value matches something already in ``OVERRIDES``
+ (e.g. ``PN`` happens to be the same as :term:`MACHINE`
+ or :term:`DISTRO`), it can have unexpected
+ consequences. For example, assignments such as
+ ``FILES_${PN} = "xyz"`` effectively turn into ``FILES = "xyz"``.
+ Rename your recipe (or if ``PN`` is being set explicitly, change the
+ ``PN`` value) so that the conflict does not occur. See
+ :term:`FILES` for additional information.
+
+  
+
+- ``<recipefile>: Variable <variable> is set as not being package specific, please fix this. [pkgvarcheck]``
+
+ Certain variables (:term:`RDEPENDS`,
+ :term:`RRECOMMENDS`,
+ :term:`RSUGGESTS`,
+ :term:`RCONFLICTS`,
+ :term:`RPROVIDES`,
+ :term:`RREPLACES`, :term:`FILES`,
+ ``pkg_preinst``, ``pkg_postinst``, ``pkg_prerm``, ``pkg_postrm``, and
+ :term:`ALLOW_EMPTY`) should always be set specific
+ to a package (i.e. they should be set with a package name override
+ such as ``RDEPENDS_${PN} = "value"`` rather than
+ ``RDEPENDS = "value"``). If you receive this error, correct any
+ assignments to these variables within your recipe.
+
+  
+
+- ``File '<file>' from <recipename> was already stripped, this will prevent future debugging! [already-stripped]``
+
+ Produced binaries have already been stripped prior to the build
+ system extracting debug symbols. It is common for upstream software
+ projects to default to stripping debug symbols for output binaries.
+ In order for debugging to work on the target using ``-dbg`` packages,
+ this stripping must be disabled.
+
+ Depending on the build system used by the software being built,
+ disabling this stripping could be as easy as specifying an additional
+ configure option. If not, disabling stripping might involve patching
+ the build scripts. In the latter case, look for references to "strip"
+ or "STRIP", or the "-s" or "-S" command-line options being specified
+ on the linker command line (possibly through the compiler command
+ line if preceded with "-Wl,").
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Disabling stripping here does not mean that the final packaged
+ binaries will be unstripped. Once the OpenEmbedded build system
+ splits out debug symbols to the
+ -dbg
+ package, it will then strip the symbols from the binaries.
+
+  
+
+- ``<packagename> is listed in PACKAGES multiple times, this leads to packaging errors. [packages-list]``
+
+ Package names must appear only once in the
+ :term:`PACKAGES` variable. You might receive this
+ error if you are attempting to add a package to ``PACKAGES`` that is
+ already in the variable's value.
+
+  
+
+- ``FILES variable for package <packagename> contains '//' which is invalid. Attempting to fix this but you should correct the metadata. [files-invalid]``
+
+ The string "//" is invalid in a Unix path. Correct all occurrences
+ where this string appears in a :term:`FILES` variable so
+ that there is only a single "/".
+
+  
+
+- ``<recipename>: Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package [installed-vs-shipped]``
+
+ Files have been installed within the
+ :ref:`ref-tasks-install` task but have not been
+ included in any package by way of the :term:`FILES`
+ variable. Files that do not appear in any package cannot be present
+ in an image later on in the build process. You need to do one of the
+ following:
+
+ - Add the files to ``FILES`` for the package you want them to appear
+ in (e.g. ``FILES_${``\ :term:`PN`\ ``}`` for the main
+ package).
+
+ - Delete the files at the end of the ``do_install`` task if the
+ files are not needed in any package.
+
+  
+
+- ``<oldpackage>-<oldpkgversion> was registered as shlib provider for <library>, changing it to <newpackage>-<newpkgversion> because it was built later``
+
+ This message means that both ``<oldpackage>`` and ``<newpackage>``
+ provide the specified shared library. You can expect this message
+ when a recipe has been renamed. However, if that is not the case, the
+ message might indicate that a private version of a library is being
+ erroneously picked up as the provider for a common library. If that
+ is the case, you should add the library's ``.so`` file name to
+ :term:`PRIVATE_LIBS` in the recipe that provides
+ the private version of the library.
+
+- ``LICENSE_<packagename> includes licenses (<licenses>) that are not listed in LICENSE [unlisted-pkg-lics]``
+
+ The :term:`LICENSE` of the recipe should be a superset
+ of all the licenses of all packages produced by this recipe. In other
+ words, any license in ``LICENSE_*`` should also appear in
+ :term:`LICENSE`.
+
+  
+
+Configuring and Disabling QA Checks
+===================================
+
+You can configure the QA checks globally so that specific check failures
+either raise a warning or an error message, using the
+:term:`WARN_QA` and :term:`ERROR_QA`
+variables, respectively. You can also disable checks within a particular
+recipe using :term:`INSANE_SKIP`. For information on
+how to work with the QA checks, see the
+":ref:`insane.bbclass <ref-classes-insane>`" section.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Please keep in mind that the QA checks exist in order to detect real
+ or potential problems in the packaged output. So exercise caution
+ when disabling these checks.
