[OE-core] How to integrate third party application software to yocto image

[winiston at futuraautomation.com]

Hi Maxin,

I copied "recipes-navigation" folder from meta-oe (Open embedded build tree) 
to "/poky/meta " . Then I have added the below line in  "/conf/local.conf" 
as given below.

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " navit_svn"

Then I used bitbake to build the image. It spits out the following errors,

winiston at winiston-VirtualBox:~/poky/build$ bitbake qt4e-demo-image
Parsing recipes: 100% |########################| Time: 00:01:35

Summary: There were 2 ERROR messages shown, returning a non-zero exit code.

What could be the problem? Where I have done the mistake ?

Please read this documentation:

In the case of Navit, recipe is already available in meta-oe layer:
