If I have some source I want to bring into my layer, for example:
Recipe dir:

What is the best option for adding all of these and compiling? As far
as I know, you have to do one of the following:
1) Use a fetch that fetches a tarball with all your source, or a repo
with all of your source
2) Use a million-line long SRC_URI assignment to include every file
that your application uses.
Is there a third (or fourth) option that I may have missed?
Not necessarily best practice, but it is something that bitbake has
supported.
If you create a directory under myapplication_1.0 that is unique and not
an override, you can specify the directory name
as the SRC_URI and bitbake will pull the directory and its contents in.
Something like
meta-mylayer/recipes-management/myapplication/myapplication_1.0/mysources/<tons
of source files>
and SRC_URI file://mysources
It should work.
Something like the following:
> find recipes/
recipes/
recipes/myapp
recipes/myapp/files
recipes/myapp/files/mysources
recipes/myapp/files/mysources/Makefile
recipes/myapp/myapp_1.0.bb
> cat recipes/myapp/myapp_1.0.bb
LICENSE="MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM =
"file://${COREBASE}/meta/COPYING.MIT;md5=3da9cfbcb788c80a0384361b4de20420"
SRC_URI = "file://mysources"
S="${WORKDIR}/mysources"
