[yocto] How to include static library and headers in sdk

[Joseph Andrew de la Peña]

Good day Matt,

A simple example is publishing libxml-parser-perl in
meta/recipes-core/libxml/libxml2 into SDK.

1. Make sure libxml-parser.perl has a nativesdk for BBCLASSEXTEND in its
recipe.
2. Add nativesdk-libxml-parser-perl in RDEPENDS for
nativesdk-packagegroup-sdk-host
3. Then -c populate_sdk <image>

You can also try if the unit itself can be successfully installed in sdk
sysroot by: bitbake -C compile nativesdk-<your unit>.
This will save you more time.

Thanks,
Joseph
