Hi,

I'm desperate to find the correct tutorial. I have a specific layer in 
which I can add packages using autotools and files download. However, I 
can't install a simple package as described here:

in my meta (called meta-oad, and inside the recipes-oad directory), I 
have the following package :
helloworld
helloworld/helloworld_1.1.bb
helloworld/helloworld/helloworld.c

helloworld/helloworld.c contains a very simple :
#include <stdio.h>
void main() {
printf ("hello world\n");
}

helloworld_1.1.bb contains:

DESCRIPTION = "Simple helloworld application"
SECTION = "examples"
LICENSE = "MIT"
PR = "r0"
#LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=ae764cfda68da96df20af9fbf9fe49bd"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = 
"file://${COREBASE}/meta/COPYING.MIT;md5=3da9cfbcb788c80a0384361b4de20420"

SRC_URI[md5sum] = "22773a3d921c1920c658569c60987de8"
SRC_URI[sha256sum] = 
"9f6a307c5f76b2361970dce0c1d0bba0e0cd8ff17de0a6d217a4b8061feacd0e"



SRC_URI = "file://helloworld.c "

S = "${WORKDIR}"

do_compile() {
  ${CC} helloworld.c -o helloworld
  }

do_install() {
  install -d ${D}${bindir}
  install -m 0755 helloworld ${D}${bindir}
  }


I have changed my conf/bblayers.conf so that I have :
BBLAYERS = "/media/yocto/var_yocto/sources/poky/meta 
/media/yocto/var_yocto/sources/poky/meta-yocto 
/media/yocto/var_yocto/sources/meta-openembedded/meta-oe 
/media/yocto/var_yocto/sources/meta-fsl-arm 
/media/yocto/var_yocto/sources/meta-fsl-arm-extra 
/media/yocto/var_yocto/sources/meta-fsl-demos 
/media/yocto/var_yocto/sources/poky/meta-hob 
/media/yocto/var_yocto/sources/meta-oad   "

If I run bitbake helloworld, everything goes well (I suppose). But it 
only generates :
tmp/deploy/rpm/armv7a_vfp_neon/helloworld-dbg-1.1-r0.armv7a_vfp_neon.rpm
tmp/deploy/rpm/armv7a_vfp_neon/helloworld-dev-1.1-r0.armv7a_vfp_neon.rpm

So I do not have the helloworld package, only the -dbg and -dev. I can't 
install them with smart as it complains nothing provides helloworld. 
This is not the expected result from 
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.4.2/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-addpkg-singlec

And worse, if I add the package to my conf/local.conf with
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL = " helloworld "
or
IMAGE_INSTALL.append =" helloworld"
in both case the bitbake core-image-minimal (or any other image) fails 
with (I'm just giving the error part here)

I'd be grateful for any hint on this :)

Thanks,
Jay
