hello again. I'm now in the process of fixing our makefiles so I can pass CPPFLAGS via recipes. okay.
<usvi>
so, we have a couple of shared libraries we want to build. our makefiles for those are especially crappy
<usvi>
but I have not seen a tutorial bitbake recipe to build a .so shared library in yocto. all the examples and answers for example in stackoverlfow tell to use some kind of INSANE_SKIP -magic. this does not sound the right way to go
<usvi>
so, is there a simple example I could adapt to build a shared library? or example recipe

theres a billion packages that build libraries
<rbox>
pick ny of them
<rbox>
but if your makefiles are garbage, then use something that isn't garbage?
<AdrianF>
It's so much easier if you go with meson or cmake instead of Makefiles (assuming you are using C, C++)
<usvi>
I degarbagefied our regular makefiles
<usvi>
makefile knowledge is not the issue anymore
<rbox>
theres ntohign special about installing libararies
<rbox>
if your build system isn't stupid
<usvi>
alright, I'll check what is installed in our image as dependencies and go from there
<usvi>
I was not the original person in this project, I was hired as a generic Linux consultant. time to market pressure is soe incredibly high nowadays that there was never before time to try to set even the basics straight
<usvi>
luckily there are no fires anymore and I have been given time to fix stuff. they are of course preparing to kick me out at some point so they probably want things to be actually manageable by normal people now :p
