Directories: Installation variables The following table provides a list of the variables that are used to control the directories into which files are installed. These variables can be used directly by the recipe to refer to paths that will be used after the package is installed. For example, when specify the location of configuration files you need to specify the location on the target as show in the following example from quagga:# Indicate that the default files are configuration files CONFFILES_${PN} = "${sysconfdir}/default/quagga" CONFFILES_${PN}-watchquagga = "${sysconfdir}/default/watchquagga" When using these variables to actually install the components of a package from within a bitbake recipe they should used relative to the destination directory, D. The following example from the quagga recipe shows some addition files being manually installed from within the recipe itself:do_install () { # Install init script and default settings install -m 0755 -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/default ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d ${D}${sysconfdir}/quagga install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/quagga.default ${D}${sysconfdir}/default/quagga Variable name Definition Typical value prefix /usr /usr base_prefix (empty) (empty) exec_prefix ${base_prefix} (empty) base_bindir ${base_prefix}/bin /bin base_sbindir ${base_prefix}/sbin /sbin base_libdir ${base_prefix}/lib /lib datadir ${prefix}/share /usr/share sysconfdir /etc /etc localstatedir /var /var infodir ${datadir}/info /usr/share/info mandir ${datadir}/man /usr/share/man docdir ${datadir}/doc /usr/share/doc servicedir /srv /srv bindir ${exec_prefix}/bin /usr/bin sbindir ${exec_prefix}/sbin /usr/sbin libexecdir ${exec_prefix}/libexec /usr/libexec libdir ${exec_prefix}/lib /usr/lib includedir ${exec_prefix}/include /usr/include palmtopdir ${libdir}/opie /usr/lib/opie palmqtdir ${palmtopdir} /usr/lib/opie
