E.g. many recipes have build dependencies on virtual/libc, and we have both eglibc and uclibc to provide virtual/libc. Eglibc will be the default options but what if the user wants uclibc instead of eglibc. One possible way may be to treat this as part of the configuration PREPERRED_PROVIDER, and have the bitbake backend reparse the recipes based on the new configurations, but this way may take some time due to the reparsing. 19045 1 dongxiao.xu 2012-03-14 02:36:30 +0000 This bug is solved by hob patches in master tree. Users can input "PREFERRED_PROVIDER_xxx" and "VALUE" in advanced setting dialog. 19124 2 jiajun.xu 2012-03-15 06:48:36 +0000 I tested latest master with commit 8e9f6fc77ac4763f4ed1f6e7b720420c220ba6e2, the feature could work now.
