# .NET Core on Yocto distribution
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to get .Net apps running on Yocto distribution.
|
|
At this momment the focus is on getting standalone applications running.
|
|
Unless explicitly mentioned, x86_64 and ARM platforms are supported.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started with base OS image
|
|
Instructions below assume familiarity with Yocto build process.
|
|
Initial testing as been done on 2.2 Morty but it is probably applicable to
|
|
other versions as well. .NET Core 2.0 Preview2 or later should be used.
|
|
|
|
add the following lines your local.conf or custom recipe.
|
|
|
|
* .NET dependencies
|
|
```
|
|
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "libunwind icu libcurl openssl"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* It is strongly recommended to use curl with OpenSSL backend.
|
|
To do that, you can add something like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PACKAGECONFIG_pn-curl = 'zlib ipv6 ssl'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check curl recipe for comple set of options. For debugging you may also add
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "curl" to get command line tool.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Some extra space will be needed for the app. Adjust number below to fit the need.
|
|
This simply adds 1G of extra space.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE_append += "+ 1000000"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On x86_64 .NET uses /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. However Yocto defaults everything to /lib.
|
|
This can be solved by adding symbolic link `mkdir -p /lib64; ln -sf /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2` or adding following lines to force multi-lib layout similar to desktop Linux distributions.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
require conf/multilib.conf
|
|
MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib64"
|
|
DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib64 = "x86"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Getting the app ready
|
|
|
|
Write and debug your app. When ready to publish, use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dotnet publish -r <runtime identifier>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
the identifier is 'linux-x86', 'linux-x64' or 'linux-arm' depending on your target architecture.
|
|
For ARM and more details you can take a look at [RaspberryPiInstructions](RaspberryPiInstructions.md).
|
|
|
|
Package `bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/<runtime identifier>/publish` to your image.
|
|
That directory has the native executable binary as well as all needed runtime dependencies.
|
|
|
|
After following these steps to configure Yocto, .NET Core applications should run just like they do on other supported Linux distros.
