Hej

Finally we made it - Thanks to you all for helping me! I attached my bb file for that case someone is searching for a bitbake recipe for building the libhiredis

Hi Stefan,

So close :)  Some more points:

This should be the name of the license itself, not the filename.  Looks a bit like MIT to me.

This URI is relative to ${S} so you can just do file://COPYING;md5=....

Use PREFIX=${prefix} to respect the what the distro has configured.  Annoyingly you can't override the other paths such a libdir easily, so this will break in multilib configurations or if I recall correctly, on aarch64.

The commandline outputs:
#############

#############  

The upstream Makefile is using "cp -a" which preserves ownership, so as you built the package the files are owned by you.  Luckily you can override this by passing "INSTALL='cp -r' to the make install (they use cp to recursively copy directories, so you need to pass -r instead).

I've a recipe locally with these changes and it builds without warnings and is packaged correctly.

This is what happens when maintainers think autotools is too complicated and a bare makefile is just fine: they do it wrong. :)
