[poky] Getting python-dbusmock into the SDK

[Mardegan, Alberto]

Hi there :-)
  I want to add python-dbusmock (which has a recipe in oe/meta-python)
to our SDK. So, I added

  TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK_append = " nativesdk-python-dbusmock"

to our image recipe and made a bbappend for python-dbusmock containing
this line:

  BBCLASSEXTEND += " nativesdk"

When I ran bitbake with the populate-sdk task I got an error about a
nativesdk-python-pygobject, which was not provided by any package. So I
added the same BBCLASSEXTEND trick to its bbappend, and I did the same
for nativesdk-python-dbus which was also declared as missing.

At this point (after adding the BBCLASSEXTEND to python-dbus) I got this
error:

============
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'nativesdk-dbus-glib' (but
virtual:nativesdk:/home/mardy/pelux/build/../sources/meta-openembedded/meta-python/recipes-devtools/python/python-dbus_1.2.4.bb
DEPENDS on or otherwise requires it). Close matches:
  nativesdk-dbus
  nativesdk-json-glib
  nativesdk-glibc
============

Do I need to continue adding BBCLASSEXTEND+=" nativesdk" to the packages
as I get new failures, or am I doing something wrong?
I became suspicious when I saw "nativesdk-glib" appearing in the logs
above; I guess we can safely assume that glibc is available in the host
system, so the need to add it as a native SDK package got me puzzled.

Should I continue down this road, or is it a dead end?

Ciao,
  Alberto
