[yocto] How to add libraries to poky toolchain

[Daniel.]

I may suggest something, run `bitbake meta-ide-support' and then use
tmp/environment-*.sh to setup environment.
After that go to your software folder and run something like:
./configure ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS}

Here is a little text file that I saved to remember how to compile
libfprint with yocto's toolchain from tmp/ folder.
