Hi Andre,
I tried without
FILES_${PN}_append = "${includedir}/open62541.h"
and got a QA error about a file installed that was not added to a
package.... I don't understand the ${PN}-dev here, and I'm not sure how
packaging works in this context - since it's not clear to me which files
get installed and which don't... except for when a recipe that depends on
this breaks because it can't find the header file.
