NB i tried cp -r but got no binaries installed in the output folder

The issue you’re facing is due to the install command not handling directories recursively, which is why directories like __pycache__, pocketsphinx-data, and recognizers are being omitted. You’ve already tried using cp -r, but it seems that didn’t resolve the issue. Here are some steps you can take to address this:

1. Use cp -r Correctly:
   Ensure that when you use cp -r, you are specifying the correct source and destination paths. The command should look something like this:

   cp -r ${S}/speech_recognition/* ${D}${PYTHON_SITEPACKAGES_DIR}/speech_recognition/
   

   Make sure that the destination directory ${D}${PYTHON_SITEPACKAGES_DIR}/speech_recognition/ exists before running the cp command.

2. Verify Directory Creation:
   Before copying, ensure that the destination directory is created. You can add this line before the cp command:

   install -d ${D}${PYTHON_SITEPACKAGES_DIR}/speech_recognition
   

3. Check for Errors:
   If cp -r is not copying the files as expected, check for any errors in the logs that might indicate why the files are not being copied. Ensure that the source directory ${S}/speech_recognition/ contains the expected files and directories.

4. Debugging:
   If the issue persists, you might want to manually inspect the contents of ${S}/speech_recognition/ to ensure all necessary files and directories are present before the copy operation.

5. Alternative Approach:
   If cp -r still doesn’t work, consider using a different approach to copy the directories, such as using rsync if available, which can handle recursive copying and provide more detailed output for debugging:

   rsync -av ${S}/speech_recognition/ ${D}${PYTHON_SITEPACKAGES_DIR}/speech_recognition/
   

By ensuring the correct use of cp -r or trying rsync, you should be able to include all necessary directories and files in your Yocto image.
