Hi,

I'm working with dunfell and want to compile and install the drivers for the Laird LWB5+ module (available from https://github.com/LairdCP/meta-laird-cp).
I have included the path to the layer in meta-laird-cp-pre-3.4 in my `bblayers.conf` and since I need the networkmanager and with information from their support team (don't trust the README apparently), I've added `lrd-networkmanager-sterling` to the `IMAGE_INSTALL` list in `sample-image-cp-lwb5plus.bb`. When I invoke `$ bitbake sample-image-cp-lwb5plus`, I keep getting:

| /usr/src/debug/lrd-networkmanager-sterling/10.4.0.10-r0/build/../lrd-network-manager-10.4.0.10/src/nmcli/common.c:904: undefined reference to `rl_echo_signal_char'

even though I've added `readline` to the `DEPENDS` list. Why is this? I expected the `rl_echo_signal_char` dependency to be resolved, any hints?

Are you using meta-gplv2? That function doesn’t exist yet in the version of readline provided by that layer.

I see, yes my project is using "meta-gplv2".

Should removal of that layer help, or would you recommend that I update
the readline version within it to the latest? (and provide an upstream
patch to: https://github.com/lgirdk/meta-gplv2 ?

you can also look into replacing readline with editline and see if
this would work for your package needs. That will be one less package
needed from meta-gpl2

Thanks!
Ron
