[yocto] using do_install_append?

[Smith, Daniel W]

Hello,

This seems like it should be an easy task, but perhaps I'm missing something very basic so it is not working.

I have working recipe that installs the fluxbox window manager.  However I want to customize the default runtime configuration files located in /usr/share/fluxbox.  To do this I created fluxbox_1.3.5.bbappend in order to replace the default configuration files with my own.

This file contains the following:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend_poky := "${THISDIR}/files:"

SRC_URI = "file://apps \
           file://init \
           file://keys \
           file://menu \
           file://overlay \
           file://windowmenu "

#
# Install the customized Fluxbox configuration files.
#
do_install_append() {
  install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/apps          ${D}{datadir}/fluxbox/apps
  install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/init          ${D}{datadir}/fluxbox/init
  install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/keys          ${D}{datadir}/fluxbox/keys
  install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/menu          ${D}{datadir}/fluxbox/menu
  install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/windowmenu    ${D}{datadir}/fluxbox/windowmenu
}

However now when I bitbake fluxbox it fails to configure:

ERROR: Function failed: fluxbox: LIC_FILES_CHKSUM points to an invalid file: /export/home/dwsmith/poky-fido-13.0.0/build/tmp/work/ppc7400-poky-linux/fluxbox/1.3.5-r0/git/COPYING

NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 793 tasks of which 792 didn't need to be rerun and 1 failed.


Why would adding a do_install_append cause the config to now fail?  What am I missing?  I can remove  fluxbox_1.3.5.bbappend and it works fine, so there is obviously something I'm not doing right.

Thanks for nay help you can provide.
