[yocto] Error while building my own package

[Priya Agarwal]

Hi,

I want to add a very simple autotools based package to the kernel image
(for freescale's t4240qds board) I built with yocto for testing purposes.

Background: I wrote a simple c++ code, autoconf and automake'd it and
compressed it as tar.bz2 file. Wrote a simple recipe for it. I have
attached both the files.

Problem: When I do bitbake <mypackage>, I get 2 errors. Basically
do_populate_lic and do_configure fail. Main errors is as follows. I have
attached the logfile as well.

ERROR: Error executing a python function in
/media/NewVolume/yocto/meta-mylayer/recipes-examples/area/area_1.0.bb:
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack


I have less experience with yocto, so please pardon me for silly errors.

Regards
