I do have a do_install that is copying stuff to ${D}/usr/lib which puts
things in my sysroot ... but what target do I use to get stuff into the
package which is used by my IMAGE_INSTALL line?  When I tar tvf my
core-image.tar and grep for my .so it currently isn't there ... but it and
the headers are in the sysroot.

When I look in the tmp/work dir, in packages-split my package name shows up
and there is noting in it.  In the very first version of yocto (1.0) the
same recipe I'm trying to use now worked and put the lib in
packages-split/usr/lib.  With Dora, packages-split/usr/lib is empty.

Regards,

Brian
