The term "legacy staging" refers to recipes or classes which have a do_stage function for populating the sysroot directories that we use for building, rather than having a do_install that works, along with post install functions to mangle the contents as needed.
In OpenEmbedded-Classic, legacy staging was deprecated but still supported; but with OE-Core, BitBake will error out during parse if it finds a do_stage function defined in any recipe, so when migrating a recipe you will need to translate this if present.
Steps for moving script code in the do_stage function to the do_install function:
- Move the lines in
do_stagetodo_install, deleting anything that is already handled in the existingdo_install - Replace
STAGING_BINDIRwith${D}${bindir} - Replace
STAGING_INCDIRwith${D}${includedir} - Replace
STAGING_LIBDIRwith${D}${libdir} - Replace
STAGING_DATADIRwith${D}${datadir}
