Android.mk not copying to /system

[Ryan Philips]

Hi,

I am trying to build a test source. I have created an external/mytest directory and the following in Android.mk

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := testextspi.c

LOCAL_MODULE    := testextspi

LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(TARGET_ROOT_OUT_SBIN)

LOCAL_UNSTRIPPED_PATH := $(TARGET_ROOT_OUT_SBIN_UNSTRIPPED)

include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)

The problem is it builds and create obj files and creates the binary inside "<PRODUCT_OUT>./symbols/system/sbin/"

But it does not create the same binary in /system/bin in the filesystem. which is <PRODUCT_OUT>/system/sbin/

I am not sure what i am missing here..

What command are you using to build? You generally need to ask the
build system to install a module for you by adding it to
PRODUCT_PACKAGES for the product you are building. If you are just
testing locally, running mmma external/mytest should build and install
everything defined in external/mytest.

TARGET_ROOT_OUT_SBIN would put that executable in <PRODUCT_OUT>/root/sbin, which is the root ramdisk, not the system partition. There isn't a /system/sbin, we just put everything in /system/bin.
