Scenario:

I am working with yocto linux recipes. I am trying to make a recipe which simply copies a prebuilt MyLibrary.a and its headers available on the built linux image. So, I have a libMyLibrary.a which I want to copy to /usr/lib. And MyLibrary's headers files MyLibrary.h and MyLibrary.hpp into /usr/include. Note that MyLibrary is already built and I just want to copy the binary and headers into desired locations of the built linux image.

So following is the recipe:

SUMMARY = "Script to make a static library available in yocto linux image"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"

FILES_$PN += "$libdir"

SRC_URI = "file://libMyLibrary.a 
 file://MyLibrary..hpp 
 file://MyLibrary..h 
"

S = "$WORKDIR"

do_install () 
 install -d $D$libdir
 install -d $D$includedir
 install -m 0644 $WORKDIR/libMyLibrary.a $D$libdir/
 install -m 0644 $WORKDIR/MyLibrary.h $D$includedir/
 install -m 0644 $WORKDIR/MyLibrary.hpp $D$includedir/

Initially I started with getting some errors in the do_install step. I resolved them but now the do_rootfs step is complaining about my bb file that is mylibrary_1.0.bb. I am pretty sure that the parent recipe that calls my recipe has no errors since it builds a lot of other recipes and mine is just additional to it. Also, the errors started to appear after I wrote the do_install step.

Question

Can someone point out what is wrong with my recipe above?

Or is there a simple example recipe which copies a .a and its headers into the desired location i.e. /usr/lib and /usr/include like I am doing above?
