I’ve created a Linux image with overlays, docker, docker compose, added and configured users and it all works. I’m now trying to install libiec61850 library and run examples. I’ve installed the library and run the examples on my host wsl2 but the Yocto install is not unpacking the tarball. I’m attempting to install to a folder called libiecfiles. The tarball is the only thing in the folder on the target. From what I’m reading, the file is unpacked by the fetcher.
Here’s my recipe, bblayers and pertinent local.conf:

Created and added libiecinstall layer. Created libiec recipe. Added libiec recipe to image_install via ‘IMAGE_INSTALL:append = ” libiec”‘ I was expecting libiec61850 folder with Makefile and build, demos, examples etc. folders within libiecfiles folder but I only see the tarball in there.
