How can I do it?

You have invalid Makefile syntax. Each target should contain a number if indented commands. The indentation must begin with a literal tab character.
What you are apparently trying to accomplish is better done with a debian/dirs file, though. You don't put regular Makefile targets in a debian/rules file anyway.

How to check if the Perl Module is been installed in system or not

I have Perl Module (Net::Telnet) is been installed in location: /home/vinod/VK_Scripts/Practices/lib
I am executing below command to check if the module exists in system or not using below command -
perl -MNet::Telnet -e 'print "Installed\n"'
vinod#vinod-VirtualBox:~/VK_Scripts/Practices$ perl -MNet::Telnet -e 'print "Installed\n"'
Can't locate Net/Telnet.pm in #INC (you may need to install the Net::Telnet module) (#INC contains: /home/vinod/perl5/lib/perl5/5.30.0/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi /home/vinod/perl5/lib/perl5/5.30.0 /home/vinod/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi /home/vinod/perl5/lib/perl5 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.30.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.30.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.30 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.30 /usr/share/perl/5.30 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
So, I have added the lib path to PERL5LIB as suggested by #ikegami in this thread.
Command was -
export PERL5LIB=/home/vinod/perl5/lib/perl5:/home/vinod/VK_Scripts/Practices/lib
And now when I check with same command whether module exists in system or not by using below command it returns true.
vinod#vinod-VirtualBox:~/VK_Scripts/Practices$ perl -MNet::Telnet -e 'print "Installed\n"'
Installed
So, question here is is there any possibility I can check whether module is exists in possible location in perl -MNet::Telnet -e 'print "Installed\n"' command itself rather export them to PERL5LIB before.
You can specify the include path (one or multiple) for the Perl interpreter on the command line itself by the -I parameter:
perl -I /home/vinod/VK_Scripts/Practices/lib -MNet::Telnet -e ''
You can also inspect the exit code of your script. If it is installed it will be zero, otherwise you got something than zero.
Installation of perl module can be confirmed with following command
cpan -D {module}
output of this command looks like following cpan -D Net::Telnet
C:\...\Examples>cpan -D Net::Telnet

Note: if module installed in none default location, as for example on web server which is not under your control (into your home directory), you have to define variable PERL5LIB to point installation location, to be included into #INC or in perl script(s) utilize use lib .....
Note: perl command option -I allows to specify include directory to look into. If you do not mind to type long path then you can use it, although including this path into #INC is preferable approach. In last case you can make script executable and just type script.pl [options] file(s).

How to overwrite linux system files into the yocto filesystem?

I am new, yocto build at imx6q embedded system.
I want to overwrite linux system files after do_rootfs. For example, target system files are below.
/etc/network/interface
/etc/issue
/etc/init.d/rcS
/home/root/mytest.sh
so, i made custom layer and custom recipe.
helloworld binary is copy ok.
but, do_mytask function is not called.
what's wrong with my code?
or any other method for my purpose.
#
# This file was derived from the 'Hello World!' example recipe in the
# Yocto Project Development Manual.
#
SUMMARY = "Simple helloworld application"
SECTION = "examples"
LICENSE = "MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MIT;md5=0835ade698e0bcf8506ecda2f7b4f302"
SRC_URI = "file://helloworld.c"
S = "${WORKDIR}"
do_compile() {
${CC} helloworld.c -o helloworld
}
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${bindir}
install -m 0755 helloworld ${D}${bindir}
}
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI += " \
file://interfaces \
file://issue \
file://mytest.sh \
"
addtask mytask after do_rootfs before do_image
do_mytask() {
install -d ${D}/etc/network
cp -af ${WORKDIR}/interfaces ${D}/etc/network/interfaces
cp -af ${WORKDIR}/issue ${D}/etc/issue
}
You'll need to extend the recipes that provide the files you want to replace.
Using /etc/network/interfaces as an example, the first step is to figure out which recipe installs that file.
From the bitbake prompt:
$ oe-pkgdata-util find-path /etc/network/interfaces
init-ifupdown: /etc/network/interfaces
So this tells us that /etc/network/interfaces is installed by the init-ifupdown receipe.
A file search shows that init-ifupdown is part of poky:
$ find . -name init-ifupdown*.bb
./poky/meta/recipes-core/init-ifupdown/init-ifupdown_1.0.bb
Now, since you need to modify the output of init-ifupdown, you'll need to extend init-ifupdown by creating a similarly named .bbappend in your own layer.
You might create the new .bbappend at
my-layer/receipes-core/init-ifupdown/init-ifupdown_%.bbappend
The % is a wildcard that ensures the .bbappend will apply to all future versions of the init-ifupdown recipe, which is probably what you want.
Place your custom interfaces file in a folder below the .bbappend:
my-layer/receipes-core/init-ifupdown/files/interfaces
The .bbappend then only needs to contain a single line to enable bitbake to pick up the new interfaces file:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
Finally, repeat the above with each system file you'd like to replace.
It depends on the file to modify. For example, if you search 'interfaces' in poky directories, you'll find it in 'meta/recipes-core/init-ifupdown/init-ifupdown-${PV}/'. You just need to create a recipe named init-ifupdown-${PV}.bbappend in your meta, recreating the path seen in poky (recipes-core/init-ifupdown/). This recipe can contain a single line :
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
Then you create a 'files' folder with the 'interfaces' file you want to have.
For 'issue', like others found in the /etc directory (profile, fstab, ...), it's the same procedure, with the sources in poky/meta/recipes-core/base-files/.
For init.d scripts, use the 'update-rc' class.
You recipe is not "image recipe" (and it shouldn't be for hello world) thus you cannot use tasks do_rootfs and do_image in this case. A bit of clarification: image recipe is .bb file that you use to build image with bitbake or devtool (in your case some containing imx6q, you can find them with bitbake-layers show-recipes "*-image-*").
It looks like you are looking really is a way to override do_install of some recipe that installs that mentioned files. Then find what recipe installs those files and create bbappend file in your top layer. This bbappend file may contain do_install_append task where you can place your install <file> <dir> lines (note, using cp as not recommended, everything should be done with install tool).
Adding an extra comment based on Carsten Hansen original answer for folks working with Xilinx/Petalinux.
Under Petalinux environment we don't really have the command: oe-pkgdata-util, so the strategy is to do a search in the Xilinx SDK folder. You might have it installed on Linux under /opt according to the documentation. If you do a:
grep -r syslog-startup.conf .
you will see busybox recipe being the one that does the installation of the syslog-startup.conf.
You can create the override recipe called busybox_%.bbappend under:
../project-spec/meta-user/recipes-core/busybox/
Put the modified syslog-startup.conf file under:
../project-spec/meta-user/recipes-core/busybox/files/syslog-startup.conf
Rebuild via petalinux-build. You can also force the creation of the rootfs via petalinux-build -c rootfs and the system should populate your new file.

Makefile:3: *** missing separator. Stop

I have attempted what I could, with the answers found on StackOverflow on this question. I do not believe the issue is with tabs. Here is the makefile:
# $OpenBSD: Makefile,v 1.15 2010/02/09 08:55:31 markus Exp $
.include <bsd.own.mk>
SUBDIR= lib ssh sshd ssh-add ssh-keygen ssh-agent scp sftp-server \

${INSTALL} -C -o root -g wheel -m 0644 ${.CURDIR}/sshd_config \
${DESTDIR}/etc/ssh/sshd_config
.include <bsd.subdir.mk>
I have attempted to put a tab before line 3 (where the issue is), and had the following error appear:
Makefile:3: *** commands commence before first target. Stop.
This isn't a makefile of my own design--it was downloaded directly from here:
http://www.openssh.com/openbsd.html
(first download link)
Additionally, based on another answer to this question, I have used the following command:
root#server:/usr/src/ssh# cat -e -t -v Makefile
which output the following:

Does anyone know what could be the issue? Thanks in advance.
This makefile is written for BSD make. You're trying to run it with GNU make. They use different formats.
In particular, the .include command is not valid in GNU make.
Since you've tagged your question with "linux", I assume you're using Linux and not OpenBSD. The ssh version you want for Linux is the portable one, but it seems you downloaded the OpenBSD-specific one. Try http://www.openssh.com/portable.html . See the openssh front page for details on the OpenBSD/portable split releases.
Check your /etc/vimrc or /etc/virc, Comment out the set expandtab
"set expandtab " Always uses spaces instead of tab characters (et)
Using tab reedit the Makefile file. You can look also see the keywords missing separator by info make, you will see:
`missing separator. Stop.'
`missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?). Stop.'
This means that `make' could not understand much of anything about
the makefile line it just read. GNU `make' looks for various
separators (`:', `=', recipe prefix characters, etc.) to indicate
what kind of line it's parsing. This message means it couldn't
find a valid one.
One of the most common reasons for this message is that you (or
perhaps your oh-so-helpful editor, as is the case with many
MS-Windows editors) have attempted to indent your recipe lines
with spaces instead of a tab character. In this case, `make' will
use the second form of the error above. Remember that every line
in the recipe must begin with a tab character (unless you set
`.RECIPEPREFIX'; *note Special Variables::). Eight spaces do not
count. *Note Rule Syntax::.

Error running make: missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?)

I'm trying to get PHP phar command line tool installed on my Debian VM, how here described:
(1) download the php-src, I assume it's in /tmp/php/src
(2) make the dir /tmp/phar
(3) Save this as /tmp/php-src/ext/phar/Makefile.
(4) cd /tmp/php-src/ext/phar
(5) run sudo make
Now after step 5 I get an error:
:/tmp/php-src/ext/phar# make
Makefile:11: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?). Stop.
As I know, there can be two possible causes for this error message:
Tabs in the make file. I've tested the file with od -t c Makefile. The file contains no tabs (\t).
It could be a bug of make v3.81 and need a patch or an upgrade to (yet instable: "Warning: This package is from the experimental distribution.") v3.82. I've downloaded and istalled (dpkg -i make_3.82-1_amd64.deb) it, but the error is still occuring.
What causes the error? How can it be avoided?
Thx
(Answered in a comment: See Question with no answers, but issue solved in the comments (or extended in chat))

zip files using CMake?

tl;dr version:
Is it possible with CMake (>= 2.8) to generate zip files from some files and put the packed zip file in a specific location?
longer version:
I have a CMakeLists.txt that builds my project into a .exe file, and this exe file will read data from a zip file. The content to be packed in the zip file is in my git repository so that it can be edited, too. But, the program needs this data in a zip file. So it would be good if the CMake script could take the data, put it in a zip file, and place it next to the exe. I already heard of CPack, but I did not find any easy examples and am not sure if this is even the right tool for my task.
Is this possible? If yes, how?
Since version 3.2 CMake has the functionality to generate a zip file built-in. The CMake command-line mode sub-command tar supports both the creation of zip and 7zip archives.
For example, if the current CMake source directory contains the file testfile.txt and the directory testdir, you can use the following CMake commands to create a zip file containing both items:
add_custom_target(create_zip COMMAND
${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E tar "cfv" "archive.zip" --format=zip
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/testfile.txt"
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/testdir")
As a work-around for earlier CMake versions, you can use the jar command that is part of a standard Java JRE installation.
find_package(Java)
execute_process(
COMMAND
"${Java_JAR_EXECUTABLE}" "cfM" "archive.zip"
"-C" "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}" "testfile.txt"
"-C" "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}" "testdir"
RESULT_VARIABLE _result
)
The zip file will be generated in the current CMake binary dir (CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR).
It's never late to show real answer:
function(create_zip output_file input_files working_dir)
add_custom_command(
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E tar "cf" "${output_file}" --format=zip -- ${input_files}
WORKING_DIRECTORY "${working_dir}"
OUTPUT "${output_file}"
DEPENDS ${input_files}
COMMENT "Zipping to ${output_file}."
)
endfunction()
Use like
file(GLOB ZIP_FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/zip/*")
create_zip("${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/native_data.zip" "${ZIP_FILES}" "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/zip")
This will pack all files from zip/ subdirectory into native_data.zip (in build directory). Then either include your archive (path will differ in different CMakeLists.txt!) as source file or add it as target:
add_custom_target("project-data" ALL DEPENDS "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/native_data.zip")
Install will not differ a lot from usual:
install(FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/native_data.zip" DESTINATION ${DATADIR} RENAME "data000.zip") # Install our zip (as data000.zip)
I assume you already have a zip-tool installed (WinZip or 7z, etc.). You could write a find_zip-tool script which will search for WinZip, or 7Z, etc...
Snippet for WinZip:
FIND_PROGRAM(ZIP_EXECUTABLE wzzip PATHS "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/WinZip")
IF(ZIP_EXECUTABLE)
SET(ZIP_COMMAND "\"${ZIP_EXECUTABLE}\" -P \"<ARCHIVE>\" #<FILELIST>")
ENDIF(ZIP_EXECUTABLE)
Snippet for 7-zip:
FIND_PROGRAM(ZIP_EXECUTABLE 7z PATHS "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/7-Zip")
IF(ZIP_EXECUTABLE)
SET(ZIP_COMMAND "\"${ZIP_EXECUTABLE}\" a -tzip \"<ARCHIVE>\" #<FILELIST>")
ENDIF(ZIP_EXECUTABLE)
Take a look at the file
<cmake-install-dir>\share\cmake-2.8\Modules\CPackZIP.cmake
it shows how CPack searches for a Zip_Executable and prepares some "useful" default flags.
After that, I would suggest to execute_process, similar to sakra's answer
As of version 3.18, CMake now directly supports creating zip or archive files using the file() command with ARCHIVE_CREATE:
file(ARCHIVE_CREATE OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/MyData.zip
PATHS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/data
FORMAT zip
)
Be sure to specify a full path for the OUTPUT zipped filename, or the file may not be generated. Also, the PATHS option accepts files or directories to be placed in the zip file, but it does not accept wildcards at the time of writing.
This command supports several archive formats and compression flavors. So, you can use the same command to create tarballs as well:
file(ARCHIVE_CREATE OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/MyData.tar.gz
PATHS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/data
FORMAT gnutar
COMPRESSION GZip
)
Since this is the top search result for creating zip files with CMake, here is a CPack solution for completeness. The basic idea is that you make calls to install() and then tell it what to name the resulting zip file. It will be placed in the build directory, though there may be a way to change that. Then you can create the zip file with make package or cpack.
# Version 1: Subtractive
# Include everything in the project source directory.
# Put it at the top level of the zip via `DESTINATION .`
# Subtract things we don't want.
# The trailing slash after "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/" prevents
# an extra layer of directories.
install(DIRECTORY "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/"
DESTINATION .
PATTERN ".git*" EXCLUDE
PATTERN ".DS_Store" EXCLUDE
PATTERN "examples" EXCLUDE
PATTERN "docs" EXCLUDE
PATTERN "README.md" EXCLUDE
)
# Version 2: Additive
# Include only the list of things we specify.
# Put it at the top level of the zip via `DESTINATION .`
# install(FILES
# ${SRCS}
# "Notes.txt"
# DESTINATION .
# )
# Tell CPack to create a zip file.
set(CPACK_GENERATOR "ZIP")
# Tell CPack what to name the zip file. It will append `.zip`.
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME "${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}")
# Tell CPack not to put everything inside an enclosing directory.
set(CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY OFF)
# Apparently this should be always on but isn't for backwards compatibility.
set(CPACK_VERBATIM_VARIABLES YES)
include(CPack)
Essentially what I did was create custom target
add_custom_target(STAGE_FILES)
With this target I copy the files and directories to the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR
add_custom_command(
TARGET STAGE_FILES
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_directory ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/video ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/video
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_directory ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/data ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/data
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/strings_en.csv ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/strings_rules_en.csv ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E tar "cfv" "data.zip" --format=zip --files-from=${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/to_zip.txt
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E remove_directory ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/data
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E rename ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/data.zip ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/data
)
The important line
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E tar "cfv" "data.zip" --format=zip --files-from=${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/to_zip.txt
inside my
to_zip.txt
I specify all the files I want to include in my zip
data/
video/
...
I can now execute the command
make STAGE_FILES
which will copy and zip everything i need
