The extensible SDK typically only comes with a small number of tools
and libraries out of the box.
If you have a minimal SDK, then it starts mostly empty and is
populated on-demand.
However, sometimes you will need to explicitly install extra items
into the SDK.
If you need these extra items, you can first search for the items
using the devtool search
command.
For example, suppose you need to link to libGL but you are not sure
which recipe provides it.
You can use the following command to find out:
$ devtool search libGL mesa A free implementation of the OpenGL API
Once you know the recipe (i.e. mesa
in this
example), you can install it:
$ devtool sdk-install mesa
By default, the devtool sdk-install
assumes the
item is available in pre-built form from your SDK provider.
If the item is not available and it is acceptable to build the item
from source, you can add the "-s" option as follows:
$ devtool sdk-install -s mesa
It is important to remember that building the item from source takes
significantly longer than installing the pre-built artifact.
Also, if no recipe exists for the item you want to add to the SDK, you
must instead add it using the devtool add
command.
