bitbake -b mozjs_17 -c configure

results in:

ERROR: This autoconf log indicates errors, it looked at host include and/or library paths while determining system capabilities.
Rerun configure task after fixing this. The path was '/DATA/T3/build-enviroment-core-23/builds/beyonwiz/inihdx/tmp-glibc/work/mips32el-oe-linux/mozjs/mozjs-17.0.0-r0/build'

Digging through the logs, this seems like the most likely cause (found in tmp-glibc/work/mips32el-oe-linux/mozjs/mozjs-17.0.0-r0/build/config.log)

My level of experience with OE is insufficient for me to figure out what to change to fix this. Help with this would be very much appreaciated.
Comment 1 Paul Eggleton 2014-09-29 10:35:11 UTC 
I'm afraid the Yocto Project doesn't generally maintain recipes in meta-oe, but please report this issue to the openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org mailing list so that someone there can look into it.
