Hi,

I've tested the given example on the branch Zeus and it works fine.

Here the hierarchy :

[pfontaine@precision recipes-myhello]$ tree -L 3
.
└── myhello
    ├── files
    │   └── myhello.c
    └── myhello.bb

2 directories, 2 files

The error that Bitbake gives you could be because you may have no
"myhello" directory under a recipes directory.

Also, I suggest you to not mix "hello" and "myhello" when you name files.

Hope it will help you to fix your issue.

Pierre Fontaine.
