Is there a method for creating a new empty directory in the root filesystem in BitBake?

Lest I forget guys @Middleware & OS, Is there a specific method for creating a new, empty directory in the root filesystem in BitBake? I attempted to include this in one of my bbappend files:

do_install() {
   install -d ${D}/tmp/myNewDir
}
FILES_${PN} += "/tmp/myNewDir"

do_install() {
   install -d ${D}/tmp/myNewDir
}
FILES_${PN} += "/tmp/myNewDir"

do_install() {
   install -d ${D}/tmp/myNewDir
}
FILES_${PN} += "/tmp/myNewDir"

do_install() {
   install -d ${D}/tmp/myNewDir
}
FILES_${PN} += "/tmp/myNewDir"

I ended up with a vague error: "Function failed: do_install".
I want the desired location for the directory to be in /tmp.

Solution

First - if you are using an append file, then you may want to try changing

do_install() {

do_install() {

do_install() {

do_install() { to

do_install:append() {

do_install:append() {

do_install:append() {

do_install:append() {

Then, that failed my QA checks (on Kirkstone) because the package

installs files in /tmp, but it is expected to be empty [empty-dirs]

installs files in /tmp, but it is expected to be empty [empty-dirs]

installs files in /tmp, but it is expected to be empty [empty-dirs]

installs files in /tmp, but it is expected to be empty [empty-dirs] . However, changing the location of the empty directory to somewhere else worked fine
