I am framing out an opening for a sliding closet door in my basement

2) The closet doors is adjacent to a sheetrock wall. Can the door
just close up against the sheetrock wall, or is there suppose to be
something like a 2X4 or door jamb on the side of the frame? What is
usually done on the sides?

You could butt the door against the drywall but the problem will be getting
both the vertical closing line and the bottom of the door relative to the
floor looking nice and neat.

If I were doing it, I'd put 2x of appropriate width on the walls at each
end; I'd make 1" deep groves in each slightly wider than the thickness of
the doors; I'd but a bumper in each groove. The doors will fit into these
mini-pockets and you don't have to worry about the vertical alignment
relative to the wall.
