It appears to install some headers and a library.
I'm trying to use the headers and library produced by this recipe in another recipe. Does there need to be a .pc file for this? Can you say what it would contain?
If I copy the headers and .so file directly to the directory where I include, compile and link with them I can build a small executable outside Yocto.
But to use a recipe to build that small executable, how would I specify the DEPENDS so that the headers/library become accessible during the Yocto build?
The above PROVIDES uses 'virtual' so maybe I would have to use a PREFERRED_PROVIDER?

Here is my attempt:
SUMMARY = "G2D app-1.0.0"
DESCRIPTION = "G2D app-1.0.0"
SECTION = "apps"

inherit pkgconfig

#  imx-dpu-g2d
#DEPENDS = "glib-2.0 dpu-g2d"
DEPENDS = "glib-2.0  virtual/libg2d"
#DEPENDS = "glib-2.0"
#DEPENDS = "glib-2.0 imx-dpu-g2d"

DEPENDS_append_imxgpu2d = " virtual/libg2d"

LDFLAGS='-L=/usr/lib'

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"

SRC_URI += " \
  file://. \
"

do_compile() {
  ${CXX} ${WORKDIR}/g2d-app_1.cpp -o g2d-app_1 ${CXXFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} `pkg-config --cflags --libs g2d`
}

do_install() {
  install -d ${D}${bindir}/
  install -m 0755 ${S}/gst-app_1 ${D}${bindir}/
}

FILES_${PN} += " \
  ${bindir}/ \
"
