Assuming you actually want to create "test"  in the root-dir of your *image*,
rather than in the root-dir of your host,
I think you'll find that "$(D}" is your friend, as in ...

install -d ${D}/test

etc.

[yocto] Creating a directory in a recipe

[bahjat khan]

I've searched the vast net for an answer to this but i've found NOTHING!  that 
works for me. All i want to do is a simple task, i want to create a new 
directory called "test" located in "/".
 My recipe is below

DESCRIPTION = "Hello world"
S = "${WORKDIR}"
SRC_URI="file://bye.sh"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${S}/README;md5=e584df0feead52ed7de9b60172adc0cf "

#INHIBIT_DEFAULT_DEPS = "1"

do_install() {
  install -d /test/
install -m 0777 bye.sh /test/
}

 I can't seem to to do this, the error message is below
[cid:927d4972-8462-4e14-a645-1e674bf9e641]
I understand that there is a permissions issue with making a directory in "/" 
but i have no idea how to to get past this.

I feel it would be very useful to newbies (like me) if there was a tutorial 
which gave solutions to simple tasks like this. The reference manual breezes 
over most things and i understand that it can't cover everything but this does 
cause a massive barrier to entry when learning Yocto. Apologies if i'm sounding 
a bit harsh but i've been self teaching Yocto for 3 weeks in my spare time and 
still don't have any fruits to show for my labour :'(.

Kind Regards,
Bahjat
(Very stressed engineer)
