[yocto] Relase or debug by PACKAGECONFIG or MY_APP_VAR?

[Mauro Ziliani]

Hi all.

I have an application made with cmake and qt5 by the recipe my-app.bb


To compile the app in release mode I need set

EXTRA_OECMAKE + = " -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release "


while in debug mode I need to set

EXTRA_OECMAKE + = " -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug "


I defined 2 image recipes: one for production (Release) and one for
testing (Debug)

my-system.bb

my-system-debug.bb


Both my-system.bb and my-system-debug.bb have

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " my-app "


But for my-system-debug.bb I'd like to set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug for
my-app.bb


How can I do that?


Now I try to define my-app.bb the variable

...

MY_APP_BUILD_TYPE ?= "Release"

EXTRA_OECMAKE + = " -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${MY_APP_BUILD_TYPE} "

...


And in my-system-debug.bb I set

MY_APP_BUILD_TYPE = "Debug"


Or I need to use PACKAGECONFIG?


Best regards,

  Mauro
