[yocto] do_install fails to do a package for custom directory

[Bipnesh, Abhinav (Abhinav)]

Basically When I use install -d ${D}/system/hello the files were not getting part of it. But as you suggested putting it in FILES_${PN} =+ "/system" works.

Where I can find a tutorial for such custom recipe and not the hello world which they put in ${bindir}

What do you mean that it doesn't work?

Most likely is that the directory /system and it's contents are not being packaged.  Try adding this line
   FILES_${PN} += "/system"
