I've inherited a custom gpsd recipe. (Not the one in meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-navigation.)
When running Yocto, this gpsd recipe successfully provides the headers required for gpsd-using programs to compile.
It does not provide the gpsd binary when the Yocto build runs.

which includes the required /usr/sbin/gpsd binary.
Unfortunately, by this point, the filesystem image has already been built and is missing /usr/sbin/gpsd.
How/why would a Yocto build not create the gpsd binary from the recipe, when the recipe clearly works when manually invoked?
Update: The recipe is:

Editing the
gpsd_3.23.bbrecipe again (to add sone debug) resulted in Yocto building gpsd correctly, including/usr/sbin/gpsd.I will post an update when I understand why that made it work.
