df is not included in build/tmp/hosttools

Question

I am using bitbake to build a recipe.

One recipe shows it needs df.

I checked

build/tmp/hosttools

df is not there, but I can manually copy df from /bin/df

How to config yocto to let it include df tool?

Copying a binary manually may not work. You need to include df to HOSTTOOLS in bitbake.conf

For example: oe-core/meta/conf/bitbake.conf under the topic Build utility info.

HOSTTOOLS += " [ ar as awk basename bash bzip2 cat chgrp chmod chown date df du echo

do it like this. It will work.

Do I need to modify it before 'source oe-init-build-env' ? – GreenTea May 20 '20 at 00:10
You can modify after 'source oe-init-build-env' also , but just do a clean build of your recipe. "bitbake recipe-name -c clean" then "bitbake recipe-name" – Mohammed Harris May 20 '20 at 01:44
