How to build openembedded packages

Question

I have my petalinux user package with non-commercial license. And i am trying to add the lines LICENSE_WHITELIST = "non-commercial"at the end of local.conf file but it is not compiling my package library as i understood that i need to specify the following URL: git://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core.gitto my local.conf file as it is trying to fetch from URL ftp://ftp.netperf.org/netperf/archive/netperf-2.6.0.tar.bz2 which is not the right one. How can I do changes to the following file by adding it to whitlist license and with specifying URL.

MACHINE ??= "qemuzynq"
DISTRO ?= "petalinux"
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm"
USER_CLASSES ?= "buildstats image-mklibs"
PATCHRESOLVE = "noop"
BB_DISKMON_DIRS = "\

    STOPTASKS,/tmp,100M,100K \

    ABORT,${DL_DIR},100M,1K \

XILINX_VER_MAIN = "2017.1"

CONF_VERSION = "1"

INHERIT_remove = "buildhistory icecc"
CONNECTIVITY_CHECK_URIS = ""

SIGGEN_LOCKEDSIGS_SSTATE_EXISTS_CHECK = "none"

SIGGEN_LOCKEDSIGS_TASKSIG_CHECK = "warn"

First you most likely want to do 'LICENSE_WHITELIST += "non-commercial"' to avoid overwriting the values already in the whitelist.

Next, I am not certain what you are getting at with the various URLs but as to why netperf is not being built is most likely related to the fact that there is no dependency on netperf (by any other packages, packagegroups or images which you are building). First ensure it will build with 'bitbake netperf'. Then ensure you include netperf in your image. There are a few ways to accomplish this last one but one way is to append to local.conf with 'IMAGE_INSTALL_append += "netperf"'.
