[yocto] How to install .deb file in Yocto on Intel Galileo

[Richard Leitner]

Hi,
do you want to install the .deb package during the bitbake build or in the running system?


During the bitbake build you can use something like the following in your image recipe.
install_my_deb() {                                                              
	${STAGING_BINDIR_NATIVE}/dpkg --root=${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/ --admindir=${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/var/lib/dpkg/ -i /path/to/package.deb
}                                                                               
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "install_my_deb; "


If you like to install it in the running system make sure dpkg is installed (try "dpkg --version").
If not: check PACKAGE_CLASSES variable. (Is package_deb set?)


hope this helps.

regards,
richard l.
