[yocto] How to add my own c++ project into a Yocto distro

[Fred Ollinger]

Here's how to write a recipe:

When we started, we also had custom Makefiles. However, we found it was easier to add our recipes to automake before making a bitbake recipe.

Automake is a challenge to get started, but worth learning.

I don't regret our move to it.

There are other options that work equally in yocto, though, like cmake.

Hi all,


I have setup a Poky distribution based on a core-image-sato image for both RaspberryPi and Toradex Colibri T20.

I have an X11 environment working fine.


Right now, I need to compile our software we developped.

I basically need to fetch SVN repositories and finally to launch a makefile to get everyting work.

The makefile is however not based on autotools. It's a custom makefiles with regular dependencies.


I just don't know how to achieve this step in Yocto ?

Should I add a recipe ?

Is there a link that describes what I need to achieve ?


Thanks


Karim
