I have some issues that seem to be related to where everything gets 
unpacked and where it thinks it needs to install from.

Below is my recipe file name "myvideos_1.0.bb"

DESCRIPTION = "my video test files"
SECTION = "examples"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"

MY_DESTINATION = "/home/root/myvideos"

SRC_URI = "file://myvideos_1.0/myvideos-1.0.tar.gz"

do_install_append() {
         install -d ${D}${MY_DESTINATION}
         install -m 0644  ${S}/* ${D}${MY_DESTINATION}
}

PR = "r0"

FILES_${PN} += "${MY_DESTINATION}/*"


I have the myvideo-1.0.tar.gz file in the myvideos_1.0 directory, same 
level as the recipe in a directory call myvideos.

The error I'm getting is :
Log data follows:
| ERROR: Function failed: do_install (see 
/build/sugarbay-master/tmp/work/x86_64-poky-linux/myvideos-1.0-r0/temp/log.do_install.9051 
for further information)
| install: cannot stat 
`/build/sugarbay-master/tmp/work/x86_64-poky-linux/myvideos-1.0-r0/myvideos-1.0/*': 
No such file or directory
NOTE: package myvideos-1.0-r0: task do_install: Failed
ERROR: Task 2

do_install) failed with exit code '1'
NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 651 tasks of which 644 didn't need to be 
rerun and 1 failed.


The tar.gz is getting unpacked in the 
..tmp/work/x86_64-poky-linux/myvideos-1.0-r0 directory per the unpack 
log file below:

NOTE: Unpacking 
/home/jim/poky/meta-jfa/recipes-jfa/myvideos/myvideos_1.0/myvideos-1.0.tar.gz 
to /build/sugarbay-master/tmp/work/x86_64-poky-linux/myvideos-1.0-r0/

The critical parts of the run.do_install is below:

do_install() {
     base_do_install
         install -d 
/build/sugarbay-master/tmp/work/x86_64-poky-linux/myvideos-1.0-r0/image/home/root/myvideos
         install -m 0644  
/build/sugarbay-master/tmp/work/x86_64-poky-linux/myvideos-1.0-r0/myvideos-1.0/* 
/build/sugarbay-master/tmp/work/x86_64-poky-linux/myvideos-1.0-r0/image/home/root/myvideos

}

base_do_install() {
     :

}

cd 
/build/sugarbay-master/tmp/work/x86_64-poky-linux/myvideos-1.0-r0/myvideos-1.0
do_install

-------------------------
So it looks like it unpacks it one place, but is looking to install from 
somewhere else. I'm just not sure how all the S and D variables are set 
and what they do.
