title: Yocto autotools not configuring and compiling
body: <p>I am new to yocto and trying to build a package for raspberry pi.
  I am using the BSP layer from <a href="https://github.com/djwillis/meta-raspberrypi" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/djwillis/meta-raspberrypi</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Am able to build the image using BSP without any problem. But when I
  added a new layer to add packages, am getting error.</p>
  
  <p>I tried testing with the hello world auto tooled package. This hello
  world is the hello world autotooled package downloaded from
  <a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.7.tar.gz" rel="nofollow">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.7.tar.gz</a>.  When trying
  to execute that bb, am getting the error as follows,</p>
  
  <pre><code>| make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
  | ERROR: oe_runmake failed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My bb file is as follows,</p>
  
  <pre><code>DESCRIPTION = "Dummy"
  
  SECTION = "package"
  
  LICENSE = "CLOSED"
  
  PR = "r0"
  
  SRC_URI = "file://hello/"
  
  inherit autotools gettext
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After executing this bb file, i took a look at the logs of configure.
  It says nothing to configure.</p>
  
  <p>Please help me with what's wrong with this process I am following?</p>
