Why can't I build firefox?

Why can't I build firefox?

[Gary Thomas]

I'd like to test firefox on my BeagleBone using my latest Angstrom
setup, so I added the meta-mozilla layer to my layers & now have this

OE Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.15.1"
TARGET_ARCH       = "arm"
TARGET_OS         = "linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "beagleboard"
DISTRO            = "angstrom"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "v2012.03-core"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "armv7a vfp neon cortexa8"
TARGET_FPU        = "vfp-neon"
meta-angstrom     = "master:2129eed920364abcc4f3f72d395333a041634e26"
meta-oe
meta-efl
meta-gpe
meta-gnome
meta-xfce
meta-initramfs    = "master:fdff8697ea2db6254d26510adb7d11e6352d950f"
meta-opie         = "master:efa3892b20a4ef80274e56e5633ebd62c16f9731"
meta-java         = "master:d430de31c167cd264be74a1d82af4b732bb915dd"
meta-ti           = "master:2dbb7f09bf1c54d505d2e84a3a614bc5ca9b89aa"
meta-efikamx      = "master:2c09a3a780b23448e8a6ca964256ff7f5ccba65d"
meta-nslu2        = "master:3d9fc951b05b4df476374b6fc3085ebac7f293ee"
meta-htc
meta-nokia
meta-openmoko
meta-palm         = "master:cda19686a2a3573ce50c86733c3469d926124995"
meta-handheld     = "master:fa1e6dcb524eb7ed29a6cd971a150d35c31e96e7"
meta-intel

meta-jasperforest
meta-n450         = "master:df18b721f86f0737c0f302e49b27ea232c70e683"
meta-mozilla      = "master:5737d9fa26a632a27b2aa760c0d01190f0a17d0e"
meta              = "master:d94cb18f7f17a492c7a948337d7d2d1d0785573f"

Sadly, I get this error:
   ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'firefox'

But there is a recipe for this in the new layer:
   $ grep mozilla conf/local.conf
   EXTRALAYERS = "/local/poky-multi/meta-mozilla"
   $ ls /local/poky-multi/meta-mozilla/recipes-mozilla/firefox
   firefox  firefox_10.0.2.bb

So, why can't I build firefox?  I don't see anything special in the recipe
(like COMPATIBLE_MACHINE, etc), so I'm confused why it's not available.

I'm not sure if this is an Angstrom specific issue, but the same basic
process _does_ work when I added the meta-mozilla layer to my Poky
setup (hence the paths above)

Ideas?

It seems to be related to Angstrom or some mistake in your setup.
Koen, do you have clue?

Angstrom includes meta-mozilla by default, so it looks like you don't actually have an angstrom setup. FWIW, an up to date firefox is in the feeds for at least armv7a.
