I am using Yocto Warrior release to build linux for Dart-imx8m SOM. Documentation can be found here : https://variwiki.com/index.php?title=DART-MX8M_Yocto&release=RELEASE_WARRIOR_V1.1_DART-MX8M.
I want to add fftw package whose recipe is in meta-oe layer. Whenever I add this package in my local.conf file, I get an error with bitbake regarding a dnf related task.
I add the package like this in my local.conf file : IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " fftw"
I get the following error when building image with bitbake fsl-image-gui :
ERROR: fsl-image-gui-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Could not invoke dnf.

Woud you have any clue where this error come from ?
Thanks,

Edit :
Found a way to make it compile for those who are intereseted. (inspired by Yocto build for a static library fails with error "No Match Found")
I edited my *.bb file and added ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN} = "1"
I am not sure I got it completely but it looks like dnf package manager needs folders created for all added packages even if empty. https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-ALLOW_EMPTY
