[yocto] Adding nInvaders game package recipe

[Mohamed Youseif]

I had changed the source of my package, and create a new recipe for my package so it fetches from SourceForge, the new recipe does not inherit Autotools and modify the do_compile, do_install as following:
do_compile () {
      oe_runmake
}

do_install () {
      :
}

but i had modified the do_install task to add it to my image and now it is like this
do_install () {

      install -d ${D}${bindir}
      install -m 0755 nInvaders ${D}${bindir}
}

then i run "bitbake ninvaders" to check that all tasks will be passed but i got that error for do_package task

arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-objcopy:/home/yusuf/rpi/build/tmp_sumo_RPI/work/cortexa7hf-neon-vfpv4-poky-linux-gnueabi/ninvaders/0.1.1-r0/package/usr/bin/nInvaders: File format not recognized
ERROR: ninvaders-0.1.1-r0 do_package: Function failed: split_and_strip_files

The problem is most likely that you're not using automake but the
generated recipe (would have been useful to include that) is using the
autotools class, which assumes correct use of both autoconf and
automake.  Specifically, your hand-written Makefile doesn't handle
out-of-tree builds.

Change the inherit from autotools to autotools-brokensep, and I expect
that will fix the build.
