I would like to create a recipe for zeek (a network security monitoring tool, https://zeek.org/). It fails while compiling because it cannot find a executable that it needs to install called binpac.  binpac is included in the zeek repo and is normally built as part of the zeek build.  I've created a recipe for binpac and included the native class and included binpac-native in the zeek recipe.  The binpac-native builds.

I'm not sure setup.py is supported for the project as it's empty? So
distutils does not look correct to me.

You have a makefile (inherit no classes, that;s the default) or
Cmakelists (inherit cmake) or ./configure (inherit autotools, though it
expects a configure.ac and not a configure directly).

Then, what you want to check is that your binpac binary is installed in
${WORKDIR}/sysroot-dirs. If it's not, you've to find where the binary is
installed (if it is) and fix the Cmake/autotools scripts to install in
the correct directory (one of the directories in STAGING_DIRS as a
"subdirectory" of ${D}) or add said directory to the ones installed in
other recipes' sysroot (STAGING_DIRS).
