fetching from local directory - yocto

Question

Posted a question on Yocto mailing list but didn't get an answer. Hopefully someone can provide one here.
We are storing some of the source code locally on a machine. Found
this on how to do it, https://stackoverflow.com/a/27834916/1636521,
but for some reason it doesn't work for me. I'm pretty sure I'm
missing something but don't know what exactly.
Here is my recipe
SUMMARY = ""
DESCRIPTION = ""
# Licensing Meta-data
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = ""
# Modify these as desired
PV = "1.0+git${SRCPV}"
SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI += " \
file://app.tgz \
"
DEPENDS += "\
libevent \
"
do_compile () {
export SWROOT=${S}/../app
oe_runmake
}
do_install () {
:
}
And here is the error that I'm getting:

Here is the ls of the recipes directory,
$ ls ~/projects/petalinux-build-system/sources/meta-piccard/recipes-piccard/cpe/files
app app.tgz
The output of
bitbake cpe -e | grep FILESEXTRAPATHS
produces the following line
FILESEXTRAPATHS="/home/userl/projects/petalinux-build-system/sources/core/../meta-piccard/recipes-piccard/cpe/files:__default:"
What am I missing?

Answer 1

You need to add the license file checksum, do like below commands
md5sum apps.tgz
e.g :
siva#siva-Vostro-3268:~$ md5sum hello.tar.gz
62390830e7933767d5e3bd080d619c70 hello.tar.gz
Then copy the number and paste into you recipe(.bb)using the variable see below,
SRC_URI[md5sum] = "62390830e7933767d5e3bd080d619c70"
or
SRC_URI += "file://app.tgz;md5=xxxxxx"
