So the way our system works, we assume that a recipe will have a main package
and in the case of a library that that will contain the actual library file;
the dev package just contains headers and the non-versioned symlink to the
library. Thus if you install the -dev package, it's assumed it won't be of any
use unless you install the main package, hence the hard dependency. Also, the
-staticdev package depends upon the -dev package. However, if the main package
is empty, it won't be produced at all, but the -dev package still depends upon
it and you'll get the error above. If all you want to do is ship a static .a
file in the -staticdev package and you're never going to have a main package,
probably the thing to do is just drop the dependency on the main package, by
adding the following to your recipe:
RDEPENDS_${PN}-dev = ""
