[yocto] how to create a named_pipe in my image

[Baumann, Michael]

To make my question more precise:

mkfifo in the do_install() section works. I can see the named pipe in build/tmp-glibc/work/*/*/*/ but my bitbake hangs in the  do_package_write_ipk and do_package_qa tasks.
Possibly it's because named pipes cannot be packed into an archive? If yes, how can I circumvent this?

Regards
Michael
