raw copy lots of files to rootfs via recipe

Hi,

I have to copy a complete file structure to my rootfs which also contains .sh and .js files Makefiles and so on. However, I only want to "raw" copy these files to /xyz to my rootfs.
I tried to cp -r via do_install() and added the files to my FILES_${PN} but I get an error: 'no package provides /usr/local/bin/node-bench' that indicates that this is not a raw copy as wanted.

In a next step I tried the ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND. However, I was not even able to create a simple txt file in /etc with this.

It would be very nice if someone could provide me a recipe example for raw copy of files (for morty).

Thank you,

Fabian

cp is just cp, that is not likely to be the problem. Would you mind pasting
the full error message with any relevant context?

I'm going to guess that this is something in the packaging system (rpm?)
looking into scripts and adding whatever is in the shebang  into runtime
dependencies of the package during do_package(). Do you have
"#!/usr/local/bin/node-bench" in one of your scripts? If yes, can you
either avoid that or make sure something installs the correct binary into
the correct place?
