====== Debug ====== Compile recipe without striping and with debug info DEBUG_BUILD = "1" # # Uncomment this to disable the stripping of the installed binaries INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1" # # Uncomment this to disable the split of the debug information into -dbg files INHIBIT_PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT = "1" Above is enough to enable debug build and symbols. If not it is always possible to add: EXTRA_OECMAKE += "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug" CFLAGS += "-g" And add to local/site/auto.conf: EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES_append = " dbg-pkgs"
