Thanks for the reply. I changed do_install of my recipe

do_install () {
  install -d ${D}${libdir}/
  install -m 0755 ${S}/libAnokiWave.so.1.0.1 ${D}${libdir}
}

Now the error is gone and there are no warnings but if I check

/tmp/work/cortexa9hf-neon-xilinx-linux-gnueabi/anokiwavelib/1.0+gitAUTOINC+16df62468c-r0/package/usr/lib/

all I see is libAnokiWave.so.1.0.1

If I change my install task to

do_install () {
  install -d ${D}${libdir}/
  install -m 0755 ${S}/libAnokiWave.so.1.0.1 ${D}${libdir}
  ln -s ${D}${libdir}/libAnokiWave.so.1.0.1 ${D}${libdir}/libAnokiwave.so.1
  ln -s ${D}${libdir}/libAnokiWave.so.1 ${D}${libdir}/libAnokiwave.so
}

I get the following warnings

WARNING: anokiwavelib-1.0+gitAUTOINC+16df62468c-r0 do_package_qa: QA
Issue: Symlink /usr/lib/libAnokiwave.so.1 in anokiwavelib points to
TMPDIR [symlink-to-sysroot]
WARNING: anokiwavelib-1.0+gitAUTOINC+16df62468c-r0 do_package_qa: QA
Issue: Symlink /usr/lib/libAnokiwave.so in anokiwavelib-dev points to
TMPDIR [symlink-to-sysroot]

I'm not sure how to fix these issues. The links, libAnokiWave.so.1 and
libAnokiWave.so, must exist but right now they don't point to the
right location or doen't exist at all.

Would appreciate any help with this.
