Issue
How can you install pygame to your yocto project? Can only seem to find old solutions that doesn't seem to work. I mange to install python3 without any issues, but the meta-python layer doesn't contain pygame as standard. How can you create your own layer/recipe to get pygame?
Tried to create my own recipe from the script here
but when I use bitbake add-layer <PATH>
I get an error saying that:
Specified layer directory <PATH> doesn't contain a conf/layer.conf file

How my other files look. local.conf:
MACHINE ??= "raspberrypi4-64"
RASPBERRYPI_DISPLAY = " 1"
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " python3"
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "wic wic.bmap"
bblayers.conf:
<PATH>/poky/meta \
<PATH>/poky/meta-poky \
<PATH>/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
<PATH>/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
<PATH>/meta-openembedded/meta-python \
<PATH>/meta-raspberrypi \
Solution
The solution that worked for me:
Add meta-python and meta-netoworking via meta-openembedded.
In local.conf add IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " python3-pip".
While up and running use the command pip3 install pygame
