SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-SA-2.0-UK - -************************************************************ -Optionally Customizing the Development Packages Installation -************************************************************ - -Because the Yocto Project is suited for embedded Linux development, it -is likely that you will need to customize your development packages -installation. For example, if you are developing a minimal image, then -you might not need certain packages (e.g. graphics support packages). -Thus, you would like to be able to remove those packages from your -target sysroot. - -Package Management Systems -========================== - -The OpenEmbedded build system supports the generation of sysroot files -using three different Package Management Systems (PMS): - -- *OPKG:* A less well known PMS whose use originated in the - OpenEmbedded and OpenWrt embedded Linux projects. This PMS works with - files packaged in an ``.ipk`` format. See - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opkg for more information about - OPKG. - -- *RPM:* A more widely known PMS intended for GNU/Linux distributions. - This PMS works with files packaged in an ``.rpm`` format. The build - system currently installs through this PMS by default. See - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_Package_Manager for more - information about RPM. - -- *Debian:* The PMS for Debian-based systems is built on many PMS - tools. The lower-level PMS tool ``dpkg`` forms the base of the Debian - PMS. For information on dpkg see - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dpkg. - -Configuring the PMS -=================== - -Whichever PMS you are using, you need to be sure that the -:term:`PACKAGE_CLASSES` -variable in the ``conf/local.conf`` file is set to reflect that system. -The first value you choose for the variable specifies the package file -format for the root filesystem at sysroot. Additional values specify -additional formats for convenience or testing. See the -``conf/local.conf`` configuration file for details. - -.. note:: - - For build performance information related to the PMS, see the " - package.bbclass - " section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual. - -As an example, consider a scenario where you are using OPKG and you want -to add the ``libglade`` package to the target sysroot. - -First, you should generate the IPK file for the ``libglade`` package and -add it into a working ``opkg`` repository. Use these commands: $ bitbake -libglade $ bitbake package-index - -Next, source the cross-toolchain environment setup script found in the -:term:`Source Directory`. Follow -that by setting up the installation destination to point to your sysroot -as sysroot_dir. Finally, have an OPKG configuration file conf_file that -corresponds to the ``opkg`` repository you have just created. The -following command forms should now work: $ opkg-cl –f conf_file -o -sysroot_dir update $ opkg-cl –f cconf_file -o sysroot_dir \\ ---force-overwrite install libglade $ opkg-cl –f cconf_file -o -sysroot_dir \\ --force-overwrite install libglade-dbg $ opkg-cl –f -conf_file> -osysroot_dir> \\ --force-overwrite install libglade-dev |
