export LD_LIBRARY_PATH overwriting changes by other layers

[CJuette]

Hi there!

I am building a yocto image with the meta-renesas layer, and in some other layers, I am adding files to the /etc/profile.d directory, where some files also append stuff to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
Unfortunately, all these changes are being overwritten by this layer, namely by this line:

meta-renesas/meta-rcar-gen3/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_%.bbappend

Line 4 in fd078b6

echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"${RENESAS_DATADIR}/lib\"" >> ${D}${sysconfdir}/profile

My suggestion would be to not overwrite the variable, but to simply append to it, by inserting \$LD_LIBRARY_PATH: in front of ${RENESAS_DATADIR}. I can also put together a PR if you desire, however I think it's faster for you to just quickly change it yourself. Or are there any reasons for why the variable is overwritten?

Good catch Chritzel and thanks for reporting.

Only the krogoth branch is still affected.

Is this not being fixed for some reason?
