Hi,

I'm not really following what you'd like to learn...

Are these in different repositories or tarball? Or what do you mean with
"check out"?

Just write a do_install(), that installs all the files from your above
list in it's correct place.

Make sure that FILES_${PN} includes all the locations where you want to
pick-up files.

If you're creating multiple packages, just ensure that
FILES_${PN}-pkg1 = "..."
FILES_${PN}-pkg2 = "..."
etc
points to which files you want packaged in which package.

Just create an empty do_compile(). Or you could remove do_package() from
the task list for this recipe, though, it's slightly easier to just
provide an empty do_compile().

Cheers,
Anders
