Question

i try to implement botan library in yocto, i have the recipe with following content

When i try bitbake botan, i encountered error:
Log data follows:
| DEBUG: SITE files ['endian-little', 'bit-32', 'arm-common', 'arm-32', 'common-linux', 'common-glibc', 'arm-linux', 'arm-linux-gnueabi', 'common']
| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_compile
| NOTE: make -j 4
| make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
| ERROR: oe_runmake failed
| WARNING: exit code 1 from a shell command.
| ERROR: Function failed: do_compile
Anything i doing it wrong or misinterpret?
i create this recipe using recipetool create https://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/botan/botan_2.4.0.orig.tar.gz
I tried bitbake -c botan and bitbake again, it still the same.

The error tells it could not find Makefile in source directory. From the readme.rst file present in botan-2.4.0.tar.gz it is said that to run ./configure.py before start compiling, which will generate Makefile. so try to add something like below to your recipe
do_configure_prepend() {
${PYTHON} ${S}/configure.py
}
