I am attempting to create a recipe that includes a custom python package written by us and sourced from a git server on our LAN. I'm running into an issue with defining the license. There is no license. From what I've read, in this situation these license fields should be used in the recipe:
LICENSE="CLOSED"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM=""
and this should be all that is required.
Trying to build the recipe gives the following error when the recipe is parsed:
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES '<recipe>' <recipe> was skipped: because it has a restricted license not whitelisted in LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST
My understanding is that the CLOSED license should not require whitelisting as it is coded as a specific case, but I have tried adding the recipe to the whitelist without success.
Should I be using some other license in this situation? Should I be using LICENSE_FLAGS? I've tried to find a solution in the documentation without success, perhaps due to my noob status and the steepness of the learning curve.
Can anyone help take the edge of the curve for me?
After deleting tmp, sstate-cache and downloads I tried removing LIC_FILES_CHKSUM then creating a custom license, neither approach worked. I then ran the build from scratch without the custom recipe, then added it back and now both techniques work as expected.
It appears there was still some state information related to earlier incorrect values of the license fields hanging about, perhaps in cache.
This is the first time deleting tmp, downloads and sstate-cache has not brought the system back to a truely clean state after I have futzed around with things exploring how they work. bitbake -c clean/clean_all have never done a reasonable job.
Thanks for the helpful comments.

I have C/C++ application and I am trying to run cov-build and getting a warning “ NO FILES EMITTED”. Can you please help me as we doing the POC on Coverity for static code analysis.

First, if you are involved in a pre-sales Proof of Concept (POC), then there should be a Coverity Sales Engineer assigned to help with the POC. That person's role includes providing instructions and information similar to what I'll offer below, as well as answering technical questions such as yours. There may have been a miscommunication somewhere. Get in contact with the Sales Engineer, as they will be able to help more reliably and completely than I can.
Now, what's going on? The primary purpose of cov-build is to watch the build process for invocations of compilers, and when one is found, compile the same code using the Coverity compiler (called cov-emit). But in order to recognize a compiler, cov-build needs to know its command line name, what kind of compiler it is, where its include files are stored, etc. This is accomplished by a helper tool called cov-configure that must be run before cov-build. If cov-configure has not been run, then no compiler invocations will be recognized, which appears to be the case for you, as indicated by "No files were emitted".
Synopsys has a page called CLI Integration Cheat sheet that gives these commands for use with IAR:
cov-configure --comptype iar:arm --compiler iccarm --template
cov-build --dir <intermediate directory> "c:\Program Files (x86)\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 6.5\common\bin\IarBuild.exe" sample_project.ewp -build Debug -log all
I can't personally vouch for these commands (I don't have IAR, nor access to the Coverity tools anymore; I'm a former employee), but something like that will be needed. Again, your assigned Sales Engineer should be able to help.
Finally, for new Coverity users, I recommend using the cov-wizard tool. cov-wizard is a graphical front-end to the command line tools, and has help text explaining the concepts and procedures, along with a convenient interface for performing them. There are several steps even after cov-build, and cov-wizard will walk you through all of them. Its final screen shows exactly what command lines it used in case you want to script them.
I tried a clean build, also disabled state cache. But still facing the issue.
Please help.
ERROR: autoconf-archive-native-2019.01.06-r0 do_populate_sysroot: The recipe autoconf-archive-native is trying to install files into a shared area when those files already exist. Those files and their manifest location are:

Matched in b'manifest-x86_64-gnome-common-native.populate_sysroot'
Please verify which recipe should provide the above files.
The build has stopped as continuing in this scenario WILL break things, if not now, possibly in the future (we've seen builds fail several months later). If the system knew how to recover from this automatically it would however there are several different scenarios which can result in this and we don't know which one this is. It may be you have switched providers of something like virtual/kernel (e.g. from linux-yocto to linux-yocto-dev), in that case you need to execute the clean task for both recipes and it will resolve this error. It may be you changed DISTRO_FEATURES from systemd to udev or vice versa. Cleaning those recipes should again resolve this error however switching DISTRO_FEATURES on an existing build directory is not supported, you should really clean out tmp and rebuild (reusing sstate should be safe). It could be the overlapping files detected are harmless in which case adding them to SSTATE_DUPWHITELIST may be the correct solution. It could also be your build is including two different conflicting versions of things (e.g. bluez 4 and bluez 5 and the correct solution for that would be to resolve the conflict. If in doubt, please ask on the mailing list, sharing the error and filelist above.
ERROR: autoconf-archive-native-2019.01.06-r0 do_populate_sysroot: If the above message is too much, the simpler version is you're advised to wipe out tmp and rebuild (reusing sstate is fine). That will likely fix things in most (but not all) cases.

I am playing around with Microsoft's Q# library, and I've gone through the install, however the build is failing and I am having a tough time figuring out the problem. My first suspicion is Microsoft.Quantum.Canon
EXEC : error QS1001: Assembly E:\Projects\Quantum\Microsoft.Quantum.Canon\bin\Debug\Microsoft.Quantum.Canon.dll not found
I also have noticed Microsoft.Quantum.Canon.nuspec is missing. I've tried to do a Nuget.exe restore on the solutions but that did not work.
Has anyone worked through this?
It's been reported on GitHub already, although it appears to be intentional. See the comments in the .gitignore file:
# These files are generated by bootstrap from a .v.template (version template).
# Any changes must be done to the corresponding the .v.template file directly
Microsoft.Quantum.Canon/Microsoft.Quantum.Canon.nuspec
I can't find any info on this .v.template file, probably it's part of internal Microsoft build tooling. You can copy the template file and fill in the missing parameters if you wish, but the file not existing doesn't make the build fail , does it?
So, I was given the task to upgrade our yocto based system from fido to morty. I have very little experience with yocto, I have been struggling with it and trying to understand it for almost a week now. I have managed to fix some issues, but now I'm facing a problem when trying to build the image:
ERROR: basic-image-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: The following packages could not be configured offline and rootfs is read-only: ['component']
ERROR: basic-image-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Function failed: do_rootfs
If I disable the compoents the basic-image builds just fine, and both of them build just fine on their own, i.e bb component
I don't even know where to start looking for a solution. So if you have any idea what might be causing this or where to start looking for a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.
Ofcourse I have been browsing the yocto manuals, but there is so much stuff that I'm just overwhelmed by all of it.
Well, the "problem" stems from the fact that you have the following in your image:
IMAGE_FEATURES += "read-only-rootfs"
That implies that nothing can modify the rootfs during runtime, everything has to be done off-line, i.e. when constructing the rootfs in question.
Your package component (adcl and cfgmgr in your original question), all have a post-installation script including the following snippet:
pkg_postinst_${PN} () {
if test "x$D" != "x" then
# Need to run on first boot
exit 1
fi
}
(Something similar at least, which exit 1).
The conditional in my example checks if the pkg_postinst script is being run during rootfs creation, if so, it exits with 1 as exit status. That means that the pkg_postinst has to be run live on the target system. However, as the target system is read-only, this will be impossible, and the build fails.
You'll have to check for pkg_postinst scripts, and rewrite them, such that they're able to be run during rootfs creation.
In one of the projects our team is working on, we are trying to make an automated deployment system for an existing desktop application. In order to do that we need to understand how InstallShield installs the application to begin with.
We have access to the InstallShield manifest, but there is an OCX file that we cannot figure out how to install manually (without InstallShield). This particular OCX file is set to 'Extract COM Information'.
Here's a screenshot:
The other OCXs in this application are self-registering, so they can be registered with Regsvr32.exe. But the OCX we are having problems with cannot be registered in that fashion.
How would one manually install an OCX file that is set to 'Extract COM Information' in an InstallShield manifest?
RegSvr32.exe calls the LoadLibrary API to load your DLL and then invokes the DllRegisterServer entry point inside your DLL. The code inside that function does the actual COM registration. If RegSvr32 is failing, that typically means a dependency of your DLL is missing or invalid.
InstallShield does all of this along with some really low level bit hacking to virtualize all of this and then harvest it. An old article on the subject is:
Spying on Registry Entries
InstallShield doesn't actually use this technique per say ( they have several techniques, most of which is not documented and various filters and transform engines to clean up the data ). If you are just looking for a way to do it without InstallShield, then look at Windows Installer XML's "Heat" command line tool. This can "harvest" COM metadata into WxS XML elements.
Also WiX is open source so if you are really curious you could go looking at their code.
As Christopher mentioned, InstallShield extracts COM information from your .ocx by seeing what it registers when invoked similarly to regsvr32.exe will invoke it. Its various forms of redirection (for capturing purposes) have the added benefit of working around several potential permissions problems while the file is registering in your build environment. However if I'm not missing the point of your question, it's "why doesn't regsvr32.exe your.ocx work on the target machine?"
This is a bit of a stab in the dark, as you haven't included enough information. While missing dependencies can cause this, I'm going to guess you only see this failure on Windows Vista/Server 2008 or higher. If this is the case, there's a good chance your application is trying to write to registry keys that are protected by Windows Resource Protection (WRP), or is being tripped up by a per-user typelib registration problem.
When a poorly behaved self-registration routine encounters WRP, it attempts to write to a registry key it lacks permission to modify, then fails the entire registration. I'm uncertain what happens to the keys it wrote before that point, but all ones after it definitely never make it to the machine. You should be able to confirm whether this is the case with a tool like Process Monitor.
What do you do if this is the case? Well, you can stick with an extraction approach like that of InstallShield (which you say you want to leave). You can fix the file to not attempt to write to protected keys (which you say you cannot modify). Or you might be able to use the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) to shim things, but I don't see how you can generally do that downstream. Generally speaking, I would recommend fixing the file, or continuing to use a working approach.
