[yocto] Understanding "dev package contains non-symlink"

[Giordon Stark]

Hi,

I've read the emails in this mailing list. I'm mostly struggling to
understand the situation for which "-dev package contains non-symlink .so"
occurs. I understand that normally, one expects "*.so" files installed as
part of the package, with symlinks to these versions in the "-dev" package.
What I don't understand is the fix, and why this problem occurs in the
first place.

The recipe I'm working on in question is here: xrootd_4.8.3.bb
<https://github.com/kratsg/meta-l1calo/blob/add/xrootd/recipes-core/root/xrootd_4.8.3.bb>
(if
this link doesn't work in the future, it's probably because I've merged
this to master). This recipe is to install this piece of code:
https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd.

Here's an example of the errors:

I find that nothing is really fixed. It seems to be a similar error, but
with different files now:

I'm getting a bit confused as these errors didn't show up the first time.
And I suppose part of the confusing is about packaging vs installation.

Hi Giordan,

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TipsAndTricks/Packaging_Prebuilt_Libraries
might be helpful to you.

One useful thing would be to show us exactly what files are being
installed (and what files are symlinks). It sounds like xrootd is
messing up library installation...

Hi Giordan,
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TipsAndTricks/Packaging_Prebuilt_Libraries
might be helpful to you.
One useful thing would be to show us exactly what files are being
installed (and what files are symlinks). It sounds like xrootd is
messing up library installation...

Based on the logs, it looks like xrootd is installing both versioned
shared libraries (e.g. "libXrdXml.so" is presumably a symlink to a
real library named libXrdXml.so.<something> ?) and it's ALSO
installing a set of plug-ins (e.g. "libXrdThrottle-4.so").

If so, then the real problem seems to be that the plug-ins are being
installed in /usr/lib. To avoid tripping up the default packaging
rules and QA tests, plug-ins should ideally be installed somewhere
other than ${base_libdir} or ${libdir}.

If you can fix the build so that the plug-ins (just the plug-ins, not
the versioned shared libraries) get installed to a different directory
then I guess you will be able remove the packaging rules over-rides
and the QA errors will go away.

If you can't fix the build to install the plug-ins in another
directory, then you could keep the packaging rules over-rides that you
have already and just ignore the "dev-so" QA test (unlike the
"dev-elf" QA test, which you should never ignore, the consequences of
ignoring the "dev-so" QA test are fairly benign - you will end up with
.so symlinks in the run-time package, which doesn't do any real harm).

I'm getting a bit confused as these errors didn't show up the first time.
And I suppose part of the confusing is about packaging vs installation.

According to the docs, there is a CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX I can configure:

* CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX - indicates where the XRootD files should be
installed,
(default: /usr)

and this might let me set the install prefix to something custom, move
those files into the package, and the plug-ins elsewhere.. But I'm not sure
if this is the right way to go... e.g.

EXTRA_OEMAKE = "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/xrootd" or something.

Hi Giordan,

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TipsAndTricks/Packaging_Prebuilt_Libraries

Post by Burton, Ross
might be helpful to you.
One useful thing would be to show us exactly what files are being
installed (and what files are symlinks). It sounds like xrootd is
messing up library installation...

Based on the logs, it looks like xrootd is installing both versioned
shared libraries (e.g. "libXrdXml.so" is presumably a symlink to a
real library named libXrdXml.so.<something> ?) and it's ALSO
installing a set of plug-ins (e.g. "libXrdThrottle-4.so").
If so, then the real problem seems to be that the plug-ins are being
installed in /usr/lib. To avoid tripping up the default packaging
rules and QA tests, plug-ins should ideally be installed somewhere
other than ${base_libdir} or ${libdir}.
If you can fix the build so that the plug-ins (just the plug-ins, not
the versioned shared libraries) get installed to a different directory
then I guess you will be able remove the packaging rules over-rides
and the QA errors will go away.
If you can't fix the build to install the plug-ins in another
directory, then you could keep the packaging rules over-rides that you
have already and just ignore the "dev-so" QA test (unlike the
"dev-elf" QA test, which you should never ignore, the consequences of
ignoring the "dev-so" QA test are fairly benign - you will end up with
.so symlinks in the run-time package, which doesn't do any real harm).

and this might let me set the install prefix to something custom, move those

this is the right way to go... e.g.
EXTRA_OEMAKE = "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/xrootd" or something.

That's probably just going to install everything in a different
location. What you ideally want is to install the shared libraries
(e.g. libXrdAppUtils.so*, etc) where they are now in /usr/lib and the
plug-ins (e.g. lib*-4.so) somewhere else. That will potentially
require patching the cmake files etc and probably the sources as well
(to change the directory from which plug-ins are loaded).

You could perhaps get away with moving the plug-ins from a
do_install_append() (ie let cmake install proceed as it does now and
then move them afterwards) but then you'd still need to potentially
patch the sources so that the plug-ins are found in their new
location.

If you're not interested in that amount of work (and submitting the
fixes upstream, etc) then, as already suggested, you can alternatively
just force all .so files into the main run-time package and ignore the
"dev-so" QA test. That would be an acceptable workaround.

Hi,

So the good news is that this is at least the source code itself appears to
be written in a packaged-up-manner which makes some things easier to deal
with. It seems that all of the plugins are here:
https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/blob/dad82068ae99859ebf40f65d95fe7c44f7db057e/src/XrdPlugins.cmake


where it seems to install to

install(
TARGETS ${LIB_XRD_PSS} ${LIB_XRD_BWM} ${LIB_XRD_GPFS} ${LIB_XRD_ZCRC32}
${LIB_XRD_THROTTLE} ${LIB_XRD_N2NO2P}
LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR} )

While all other "non-plugins" also install to the same
"CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR". I suppose it might be possible to patch this one
particular file to get the installs in a separate location? This seems like
potentially a short patch given that all plug-ins, from a cursory glance,
are installed with the same CMake instruction...

If not, I would be ok with adding

INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "dev-so"

to my recipe along with the other two lines I've added (one to erase the
so-libs pattern for ${PN}-dev, and one to force all the *.so libs into
${PN}).

Would a third option be to just manually write out my ${PN} and ${PN}-dev
files to split up which are symlinks and which are not -- given that I'm
writing this recipe for a given version/configuration?
