Hello Jim,

You must add your override of do_install_class-nativesdk() in the recipe that builds clang/llvm that will not affect how gcc gets installed in the SDK. You can have as many do_install_class-nativesdk() overrides across various recipes as you like, without them conflicting. Basically this is how every tool from the SDK gets installed there.

Hi Liviu,

Thanks for the tip. I had everything but the override for do_install_class-nativesdk().

One question please.

Will that override prevent the gcc compilers from being installed in nativesdk? Or should I duplicate the existing do_install_class-nativesdk(), and add the clang stuff?

Hello Yu, Jim

I think you can get the clang executable into the SDK installer script with something like this:

1. Add this dependency in nativesdk-packagegroup-sdk-host.bb:
*RDEPENDS_${PN} += "nativesdk-<name-of-clang-recipe>"*

2. In the clang recipe add this install() overwrite for the nativesdk class - this will install it into the SDK sysroot:
*do_install_class-nativesdk() {
    install -d ${D}${bindir}
    install -m 0755 clang ${D}${bindir}
}*

3. The clang recipe (I don't know if it has a recipe of its own, or it's part of the LLVM recipe) should also inherit from nativesdk:
*BBCLASSEXTEND = "nativesdk"*

Basically this should get your clang executable inside the SDK installer. Sure you can add more executables related to clang (like the llvm-related ones) in the install_class-nativesdk() function.

I **think** I'm just inches away from success. I think I just need to invoke a

not managed to do so. But right now the alternative way of jamming the compiler

Hi Jim,

How did you jam the clang compiler into the SDK tarball?

Hello Chan,

I have been working to a similar goal, to include clang in the toolchain to be 
used for compiling applications to run on the target.  Using clang to compile 
the OS and kernel are not required or  desired by me.

You may get some insight from the thread I started in November on the subject.  
I'm not sure that this contains all of the posts on the subject. You may want 
to search the archive for November.

I have not been successful yet in getting clang actually packaged in the 
toolchain, in the Yocto build,  but at least it builds.  I have a postbuild 
script that takes the built clang compiler from the work directory and jams it 
into the SDK tarball that is embedded in the sdk install script.

-Jim-
