Bitbake compiles fine but does not make .ipk

I have a really simple bitbake file consists of:

> SRC_URI = "file://main.cc \
>            file://Makefile"
>
> S = "${WORKDIR}"

and my Makefile is as follows:

> CXX = g++
>
> helloworld: main.o
> 	$(CXX) -o helloworld main.o
>
> main.o: main.cc
> 	$(CXX) -c main.cc
>
> .PHONY: clean
>
> clean:
> 	rm main.o helloworld

When I run bitbake -b <path to bb>/helloworld_0.1.bb, bitbake reports  
"Not creating empty archive for helloworld-0.1-r0" as well as "package  
helloworld-0.1: completed".  There's no helloworld*.ipk under build- 
h3900-gpe/tmp/deploy/ipk/.

Digging around, I found my Makefile, main.cc and the compiled binary  
under build-h3900-gpe/tmp/work/arm-linux/helloworld-0.1-r0.  The  
binary ran fine on the iPaq after I scp'ed it over.

My problem is, I really need an ipk package as in the future there  
will be more than just one file.

Thanks in advance.
