Yocto autotools not configuring and compiling

I am new to yocto and trying to build a package for raspberry pi. I am using the BSP layer from https://github.com/djwillis/meta-raspberrypi.

Am able to build the image using BSP without any problem. But when I added a new layer to add packages, am getting error.

I tried testing with the hello world auto tooled package. This hello world is the hello world autotooled package downloaded from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.7.tar.gz. When trying to execute that bb, am getting the error as follows,

| make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
| ERROR: oe_runmake failed

My bb file is as follows,

DESCRIPTION = "Dummy"

SECTION = "package"

LICENSE = "CLOSED"

PR = "r0"

SRC_URI = "file://hello/"

inherit autotools gettext

After executing this bb file, i took a look at the logs of configure. It says nothing to configure.

Please help me with what's wrong with this process I am following?

You are getting the error because OE cannot find the source. Try changing the SRC_URI to the address of the hello world tar file. OE then implicitly knows the location of the source.

DESCRIPTION = "Dummy"

SECTION = "package"

LICENSE = "CLOSED"

PR = "r0"

SRC_URI = "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.7.tar.gz"

inherit autotools

Looking at what you did (which is not conventional) you can also try setting the source directory "S" to "${WORKDIR}/hello"

DESCRIPTION = "Dummy"

SECTION = "package"

LICENSE = "CLOSED"

PR = "r0"

SRC_URI = "file://hello/"

inherit autotools

S = ${WORKDIR}/hello

Your error

    make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

Means the bitbake recipe does not a rule for "install" defined. What you need in your recipe is something as follows 

    do_install () {
        #either leave this empty or put instructions for installation 
    }

You also need a SRC_URI for hello.c system.h and the make file included with that hello world package.

Have a look at this tutorial http://stevephillips.me/blog/adding-custom-software-to-bitbake-oe-core which has a full bitbake recipe example
