Xiaofeng Yan 0d0846e06f ncurses: Avoid occasional builling failure when having parallel processable task
ncurses failure non-gplv3 build (race issue) like the following \
error information:

| tic: error while loading shared libraries: /srv/home/pokybuild \
/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-slave/nightly-non-gpl3/build/build/tmp/\
work/x86_64-linux/ncurses-native-5.9-r8.1/ncurses-5.9/narrowc/lib\
/libtinfo.so.5: file too short
| ? tic could not build /srv/home/pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder/\
yocto-slave/nightly-non-gpl3/build/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/\
ncurses-native-5.9-r8.1/image/srv/home/pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder\
/yocto-slave/nightly-non-gpl3/build/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux\
/usr/share/terminfo
| make[1]: *** [install.data] Error 1

This is a race issue which is caused by
install.libs and install.data:

1) install.data needs run tic
2) tic needs libtinfo.so
3) install.libs would regenerate libtinfo.so
4) but install.data doesn't depend on install.libs, and they can run
   parallelly

So there would be errors in a very critical condition: tic is begining
to run at the same time when install.libs is generating libtinfo.so, and
this libtinfo.so is not integrity, then there would be the  above error.

Let task install.libs run before install.data for fixing this bug.

Poky

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation

OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.

For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
