Description Alexandru Georgescu 2012-11-15 15:08:04 UTC

Currently, only for the images themselves static libraries can be added by specifying staticdev-pkgs as option for  EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES or IMAGE_FEATURES.

For the toolchain (meta-toolchain-sdk), this option must be added to SDKIMAGE_FEATURES too.

Tested with: "master:78983e939ab17f02f8911c8b0d0e326b419856b9".

See bug 2531 for other comments.

This doesn't seem to be a bug, the user needs to configure the system to provide what they need, setting IMAGE_FEATURES and/or SDKIMAGE_FEATURES as appropriate?

Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2013-04-25 16:53:31 UTC

The missing piece (not mentioned) is SDKIMAGE_FEATURES is not supported for non-image SDKs.

Comment 3 Richard Purdie 2013-04-25 16:54:57 UTC

Could we drop meta-toolchain/meta-toolchain-sdk in this cycle?

Comment 4 Paul Eggleton 2014-02-27 16:37:30 UTC

We're deprecating meta-toolchain-sdk for 1.6 in favour of -c populate_sdk, which supports SDKIMAGE_FEATURES for those who want -staticdev packages in the SDK. Given that, I'm marking this as WONTFIX.
