[bitbake-devel] How [autotools] configure copies items to build/

[Tomasz Wozniak]

Hi there,

I am relatively new to yocto/bitbake (less than a week in total spent in
this environment), and need help.
I am trying to get the mono build on yocto - guides are out there,
resulting in helloworld being runnable on target platform. When I however
try to add mono-basic component, the build process stops at compile stage,
due to build/ being empty.
The configure step might be to blame, as it - bitbake-wise - succeeds, but
in fact fails.
The reason is that configure mono-basic does not support some (all?) of the
options supplied, AND the build/config.make does not exist.

The .bb file looks almost the same for this package, and for
mono-hellowirld, that dos build and does have files in build/ after
configure finishes.
What should I do to:
1. Get help
2. Understand what does not happen and should
3. Fix the issue, so that mono-basic builds is a preferably kosher way

Below is the excerpt from the build console. The log.do_configure is in the
attachement.
