Hi,
I think you should set S to whatever directory that contains your
source, it has a default to ${WORKDIR}/${PN}-${PV} if I remember
correctly.
So S = "${WORKDIR}/${PN}" should work if the recipe is named the same
as the subdir in git, otherwise just set it explicitly using e.g. S =
"${WORKDIR}/module_a"
Side note: Your example uses an underscore, which means that a and b
would be interpreted as versions, which is probably not intended. See
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#new-recipe-storing-and-naming-the-recipe
Cheers,
Erik
