I am trying to add a recipe to my new meta-layer, but facing ERROR NOTHING FOUND

I want to create a recipe for this https://github.com/kuscsik/streamfs in my new layer (meta-example) and include it to image.

My layer is added in bblayers.conf :

~/rdk/build-raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid$ bitbake-layers show-layers

**layer                 path                                      priority**

**meta-example          /home/xyz/rdk/build-raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid/meta-example  6**

This is my path to layer.conf and content in layer.conf:

~/rdk/build-raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid/meta-example/conf$ vi layer.conf

#We have a conf and classes directory, add to BBPATH

BBPATH .=":${LAYERDIR}"

#We have recipes-* directories, add to BBFILES

BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb\
    ${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bbapend"

BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "example"

BBFILE_PATTERN_example = "^${LAYERDIR}/"

BBFILE_PRIORITY_example = "6"

Then i have created a directory(example) inside meta-example which contains streamfs_git.bb with contents as shown below:

~/rdk/build-raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid/meta-example/example$ vi streamfs_git.bb

DESCRIPTION = "First recipe"

HOMEPAGE = "https://github.com/kuscsik/streamfs"

LICENSE = "LGPL-2.1"

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://LICENSE;md5=fc178bcd425090939a8b634d1d6a9594"

inherit cmake pkgconfig

SRC_URI = "git://github.com/kuscsik/streamfs"

SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"

S = "${WORKDIR}/git"

Then i run this command :~/rdk/build-raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid/meta-example/example$ bitbake streamfs_git

It shows me this error

WARNING: No bb files matched BBFILE_PATTERN_example '^/home/xyz/rdk/build-raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid/meta-example/'

**ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'streamfs_git'

I have even tried bitbake streamfs_git.bb and bitbake streamfs also, all are giving same error.

How can I fix the error? Do I have to add something in my layer.conf or .bb file or is there an error in any of my steps?

I've noticed two potential errors right away within your BBFILES declaration. You have

BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes-//.bb
${LAYERDIR}/recipes-//.bbapend"

The first issue being that BBFILES is looking for any recipes in AND ONLY in a directory called 'recipes-'. I'm assuming (I could be wrong) that your recipes directory isn't called 'recipes-'. To ensure any recipes within a folder are getting parsed, make sure your bbfiles properly points to the directory that it resides in. In this case, perhaps change 'recipes-' to 'recipes-[directory-name]', although you can also use wildcards here, so something like 'recipes-*' would work as well, giving you the ability to parse any recipes within any directory named 'recipes-[anything]'.

Additionally, you seem to have an extraneous '/' in that same line, and no declaration of your recipe name. It's generally good practice in yocto keep your recipes in a subfolder of a recipes-* directory, though it's only for organizational reasons. You're also only pointing to a recipes named '.bb'. You should have either a wildcard, or the exact recipe name here. Also, don't forget to separate your multilined variables with a \ at the end of each line. It should look something like:

BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb \

Moving to the second line, it's the same issues with lack of wildcards/direct definitions, although there also seems to be a typo in 'bbapend', which is just in spelling, should be 'bbappend'.

Ultimately, you should end up with something like this

BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb \
${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bbappend"

There may be more issues, though work on this stuff for now, and I'll help out more if this doesn't solve your issue.
