<chapter id='ref-classes'>
<title>Classes</title>

<para>
    Class files are used to abstract common functionality and share it amongst multiple
    <filename>.bb</filename> files.
    Any <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink> usually
    found in a <filename>.bb</filename> file can also be placed in a class
    file.
    Class files are identified by the extension <filename>.bbclass</filename> and are usually placed
    in a <filename>classes/</filename> directory beneath the
    <filename>meta*/</filename> directory found in the
    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
    Class files can also be pointed to by
    <link linkend='var-BUILDDIR'><filename>BUILDDIR</filename></link>
    (e.g. <filename>build/</filename>) in the same way as
    <filename>.conf</filename> files in the <filename>conf</filename> directory.
    Class files are searched for in <link linkend='var-BBPATH'><filename>BBPATH</filename></link>
    using the same method by which <filename>.conf</filename> files are searched.
</para>

<para>
    In most cases inheriting the class is enough to enable its features, although
    for some classes you might need to set variables or override some of the
    default behavior.
</para>

<para>
    This chapter discusses only the most useful and important classes.
        Other classes do exist within the <filename>meta/classes</filename>
        directory in the
        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
        You can reference the <filename>.bbclass</filename> files directly
        for more information.
</para>

<section id='ref-classes-base'>
    <title>The base Class - <filename>base.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        The base class is special in that every <filename>.bb</filename>
        file inherits it automatically.
        This class contains definitions for standard basic
        tasks such as fetching, unpacking, configuring (empty by default), compiling
        (runs any <filename>Makefile</filename> present), installing (empty by default) and packaging
        (empty by default).
        These classes are often overridden or extended by other classes
        such as <filename>autotools.bbclass</filename> or <filename>package.bbclass</filename>.
        The class also contains some commonly used functions such as <filename>oe_runmake</filename>.
    </para>
</section>

<section id='ref-classes-autotools'>
    <title>Autotooled Packages - <filename>autotools.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        Autotools (<filename>autoconf</filename>, <filename>automake</filename>,
        and <filename>libtool</filename>) bring standardization.
        This class defines a set of tasks (configure, compile etc.) that
        work for all Autotooled packages.
        It should usually be enough to define a few standard variables
        and then simply <filename>inherit autotools</filename>.
        This class can also work with software that emulates Autotools.
        For more information, see the
        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#usingpoky-extend-addpkg-autotools'>Autotooled Package</ulink>"
        section in the Yocto Project Development Manual.
    </para>

    <para>
        It's useful to have some idea of how the tasks defined by this class work
        and what they do behind the scenes.
        <itemizedlist>
            <listitem><para><filename>do_configure</filename> &dash; Regenerates the
                configure script (using <filename>autoreconf</filename>) and then launches it
                with a standard set of arguments used during cross-compilation.
                You can pass additional parameters to <filename>configure</filename> through the
                <filename><link linkend='var-EXTRA_OECONF'>EXTRA_OECONF</link></filename> variable.
                </para></listitem>
            <listitem><para><filename>do_compile</filename> &dash; Runs <filename>make</filename> with

<section id='ref-classes-update-alternatives'>
    <title>Alternatives - <filename>update-alternatives.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        This class helps the alternatives system when multiple sources provide
        the same command.
        This situation occurs when several programs that have the same or
        similar function are installed with the same name.
        For example, the <filename>ar</filename> command is available from the
        <filename>busybox</filename>, <filename>binutils</filename> and
        <filename>elfutils</filename> packages.
        The <filename>update-alternatives.bbclass</filename> class handles
        renaming the binaries so that multiple packages can be installed
        without conflicts.
        The <filename>ar</filename> command still works regardless of which
        packages are installed or subsequently removed.
        The class renames the conflicting binary in each package and symlinks
        the highest priority binary during installation or removal of packages.
    </para>

    <para>
        To use this class, you need to define a number of variables:
        <itemizedlist>
            <listitem><para><link linkend='var-ALTERNATIVE'><filename>ALTERNATIVE</filename></link>
                </para></listitem>
            <listitem><para><link linkend='var-ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME'><filename>ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME</filename></link>
                </para></listitem>
            <listitem><para><link linkend='var-ALTERNATIVE_TARGET'><filename>ALTERNATIVE_TARGET</filename></link>
                </para></listitem>
            <listitem><para><link linkend='var-ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY'><filename>ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY</filename></link>
                </para></listitem>
        </itemizedlist>
        These variables list alternative commands needed by a package,
        provide pathnames for links, default links for targets, and
        so forth.
        For details on how to use this class, see the comments in the
        <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/classes/update-alternatives.bbclass'><filename>update-alternatives.bbclass</filename></ulink>.
    </para>

    <note>
        You can use the <filename>update-alternatives</filename> command
        directly in your recipes.
        However, this class simplifies things in most cases.

<section id='ref-classes-update-rc.d'>
    <title>Initscripts - <filename>update-rc.d.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        This class uses <filename>update-rc.d</filename> to safely install an
        initialization script on behalf of the package.
        The OpenEmbedded build system takes care of details such as making sure the script is stopped before
        a package is removed and started when the package is installed.
        Three variables control this class:

<section id='ref-classes-binconfig'>
    <title><filename>binconfig.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        This class helps to correct paths in shell scripts.
    </para>

    <para>
        Before <filename>pkg-config</filename> had become widespread, libraries
        shipped shell scripts to give information about the libraries and
        include paths needed to build software (usually named
        <filename>LIBNAME-config</filename>).
        This class assists any recipe using such scripts.
    </para>

    <para>
        During staging, the OpenEmbedded build system installs such scripts
        into the <filename>sysroots/</filename> directory.
        Inheriting this class results in all paths in these scripts being
        changed to point into the <filename>sysroots/</filename> directory so
        that all builds that use the script use the correct directories
        for the cross compiling layout.
        See the

        This class aims to smooth integration of
        <filename>pkg-config</filename> into libraries that use it.
    </para>

    <para>
        During staging, BitBake installs <filename>pkg-config</filename> data into the
        <filename>sysroots/</filename> directory.
        By making use of sysroot functionality within <filename>pkg-config</filename>,
        this class no longer has to manipulate the files.

<section id='ref-classes-package'>
    <title>Packaging - <filename>package*.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        The packaging classes add support for generating packages from a build's
        output.
        The core generic functionality is in <filename>package.bbclass</filename>.
        The code specific to particular package types is contained in various sub-classes such as
        <filename>package_deb.bbclass</filename>, <filename>package_ipk.bbclass</filename>,
        and <filename>package_rpm.bbclass</filename>.
        Most users will want one or more of these classes.
    </para>

    <para>
        You can control the list of resulting package formats by using the
        <filename><link linkend='var-PACKAGE_CLASSES'>PACKAGE_CLASSES</link></filename>
        variable defined in the <filename>local.conf</filename> configuration file,
        which is located in the <filename>conf</filename> folder of the
        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
        When defining the variable, you can specify one or more package types.
        Since images are generated from packages, a packaging class is
        needed to enable image generation.
        The first class listed in this variable is used for image generation.
    </para>

    <para>
        If you take the optional step to set up a repository (package feed)
        on the development host that can be used by Smart, you can
        install packages from the feed while you are running the image
        on the target (i.e. runtime installation of packages).
        For more information, see the

    </para>

    <para>
        The package class you choose can affect build-time performance and has space
        ramifications.
        In general, building a package with IPK takes about thirty percent less
        time as compared to using RPM to build the same or similar package.
        This comparison takes into account a complete build of the package with
        all dependencies previously built.
        The reason for this discrepancy is because the RPM package manager
        creates and processes more
        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink> than the
        IPK package manager.
        Consequently, you might consider setting <filename>PACKAGE_CLASSES</filename>
        to "package_ipk" if you are building smaller systems.
    </para>

    <para>
        Before making your decision on package manager, however, you should
        consider some further things about using RPM:
        <itemizedlist>
            <listitem><para>
                RPM starts to provide more abilities than IPK due to
                the fact that it processes more metadata.
                For example, this information includes individual file types,
                file checksum generation and evaluation on install, sparse file
                support, conflict detection and resolution for Multilib systems,
                ACID style upgrade, and repackaging abilities for rollbacks.
                </para></listitem>
            <listitem><para>
                For smaller systems, the extra space used for the Berkley
                Database and the amount of metadata when using RPM can affect
                your ability to perform on-device upgrades.

    <para>
        This means that each built kernel module is packaged separately and inter-module

        If all modules are required, then installing the <filename>kernel-modules</filename>
        package installs all packages with modules and various other kernel packages
        such as <filename>kernel-vmlinux</filename>.

    <title>Host System Sanity Checks - <filename>sanity.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        This class checks to see if prerequisite software is present on the host system
        so that users can be notified of potential problems that might affect their build.
        The class also performs basic user configuration checks from
        the <filename>local.conf</filename> configuration file to
        prevent common mistakes that cause build failures.
        Distribution policy usually determines whether to include this class.
    </para>
</section>

<section id='ref-classes-insane'>
<title><filename>insane.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        This class adds a step to the package generation process so that
        output quality assurance checks are generated by the OpenEmbedded
        build system.
        A range of checks are performed that check the build's output
        for common problems that show up during runtime.
        Distribution policy usually dictates whether to include this class.
    </para>

    <para>
        You can configure the sanity checks so that specific test failures
        either raise a warning or an error message.
        Typically, failures for new tests generate a warning.
        Subsequent failures for the same test would then generate an error
        message once the metadata is in a known and good condition.
    </para>

    <para>
        Use the
        <link linkend='var-WARN_QA'><filename>WARN_QA</filename></link> and
        <link linkend='var-ERROR_QA'><filename>ERROR_QA</filename></link>
         variables to control the behavior of
        these checks at the global level (i.e. in your custom distro
        configuration).
        However, to skip one or more checks in recipes, you should use
        <link linkend='var-INSANE_SKIP'><filename>INSANE_SKIP</filename></link>.
        For example, to skip the check for symbolic link
        <filename>.so</filename> files in the main package of a recipe,
        add the following to the recipe.
        You need to realize that the package name override, in this example
        <filename>${PN}</filename>, must be used:
        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "dev-so"
        </literallayout>
        Please keep in mind that the QA checks exist in order to detect real
        or potential problems in the packaged output.
        So exercise caution when disabling these checks.

                by default on a standard system are searched by the linker (e.g.
                <filename>/lib</filename> and <filename>/usr/lib</filename>).
                While these paths will not cause any breakage, they do waste space and

                If this test fails, bad <filename>-rpath</filename> options are being

                In general, these symlinks are only useful for development purposes.
                Thus, the <filename>-dev</filename> package is the correct location for
                them.
                Some very rare cases do exist for dynamically loaded modules where
                these symlinks are needed instead in the main package.

            <listitem><para><emphasis><filename>debug-files:</filename></emphasis>
                Checks for <filename>.debug</filename> directories in anything but the

                All drivers should depend on the ABI versions that they have

        Once the build system generates the packages for a recipe, the work
        files for that recipe are no longer needed.
        However, by default, the build system preserves these files
        for inspection and possible debugging purposes.
        If you would rather have these files deleted to save disk space
        as the build progresses, you can enable <filename>rm_work</filename>
        by adding the following to your <filename>local.conf</filename> file,
        which is found in the
        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>.
        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
    INHERIT += "rm_work"
        </literallayout>
        If you are modifying and building source code out of the work directory
        for a recipe, enabling <filename>rm_work</filename> will potentially
        result in your changes to the source being lost.
        To exclude some recipes from having their work directories deleted by
        <filename>rm_work</filename>, you can add the names of the recipe or
        recipes you are working on to the <filename>RM_WORK_EXCLUDE</filename>
        variable, which can also be set in your <filename>local.conf</filename>
        file.
        Here is an example:
        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
    RM_WORK_EXCLUDE += "busybox eglibc"
        </literallayout>
    </para>

<section id='ref-classes-siteinfo'>
    <title>Autotools Configuration Data Cache - <filename>siteinfo.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        Autotools can require tests that must execute on the target hardware.
        Since this is not possible in general when cross compiling, site information is
        used to provide cached test results so these tests can be skipped over but
        still make the correct values available.
        The <filename><link linkend='structure-meta-site'>meta/site directory</link></filename>
        contains test results sorted into different categories such as architecture, endianness, and
        the <filename>libc</filename> used.
        Site information provides a list of files containing data relevant to
        the current build in the
        <filename><link linkend='var-CONFIG_SITE'>CONFIG_SITE</link></filename> variable
        that Autotools automatically picks up.
    </para>

    <para>
        The class also provides variables like
        <filename><link linkend='var-SITEINFO_ENDIANNESS'>SITEINFO_ENDIANNESS</link></filename>
        and <filename><link linkend='var-SITEINFO_BITS'>SITEINFO_BITS</link></filename>
        that can be used elsewhere in the metadata.
    </para>

    <para>
        Because this class is included from <filename>base.bbclass</filename>, it is always active.
    </para>
</section>

<section id='ref-classes-useradd'>
    <title>Adding Users - <filename>useradd.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        If you have packages that install files that are owned by custom users or groups,
        you can use this class to specify those packages and associate the users and groups
        with those packages.
        The <filename>meta-skeleton/recipes-skeleton/useradd/useradd-example.bb</filename>
        recipe in the <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
        provides a simple example that shows how to add three
        users and groups to two packages.
        See the <filename>useradd-example.bb</filename> for more information on how to
        use this class.
    </para>
</section>

<section id='ref-classes-externalsrc'>
    <title><filename>externalsrc.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        You can use this class to build software from source code that is
        external to the OpenEmbedded build system.
        Building software from an external source tree means that the build
        system's normal fetch, unpack, and patch process is not used.
    </para>

    <para>
        By default, the OpenEmbedded build system uses the
        <link linkend='var-S'><filename>S</filename></link> and
        <link linkend='var-B'><filename>B</filename></link> variables to
        locate unpacked recipe source code and to build it, respectively.
        When your recipe inherits <filename>externalsrc.bbclass</filename>,
        you use the
        <link linkend='var-EXTERNALSRC'><filename>EXTERNALSRC</filename></link>
        and
        <link linkend='var-EXTERNALSRC_BUILD'><filename>EXTERNALSRC_BUILD</filename></link>
        variables to ultimately define <filename>S</filename> and
        <filename>B</filename>.
    </para>

    <para>
        By default, this class expects the source code to support recipe builds
        that use the <link linkend='var-B'><filename>B</filename></link>
        variable to point to the directory in which the OpenEmbedded build
        system places the generated objects built from the recipes.
        By default, the <filename>B</filename> directory is set to the
        following, which is separate from the source directory
        (<filename>S</filename>):
        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ${WORKDIR}/${BPN}/{PV}/
        </literallayout>
        See the glossary entries for the
        <link linkend='var-WORKDIR'><filename>WORKDIR</filename></link>,
        <link linkend='var-BPN'><filename>BPN</filename></link>,
        <link linkend='var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></link>,
    </para>

<section id='ref-classes-testimage'>
    <title><filename>testimage.bbclass</filename></title>

    <para>
        You can use this class to enable running a series of automated tests
        for images.
        The class handles loading the tests and starting the image.
        <note>
            Currently, there is only support for running these tests
            under QEMU.
        </note>
    </para>

    <para>
        To use the class, you need to perform steps to set up the
        environment.
        The tests are commands that run on the target system over
        <filename>ssh</filename>.
        they are written in Python and make use of the
        <filename>unittest</filename> module.
    </para>

    <para>
        For information on how to enable, run, and create new tests, see the
        "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#performing-automated-runtime-testing'>Performing Automated Runtime Testing</ulink>"
        section.

    <para>
        Thus far, this chapter has discussed only the most useful and important
        classes.
