most of the way thru the variable glossary and this one confuses me.
from here:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-PACKAGECONFIG
we have:
"This variable provides a means of enabling or disabling features of a
recipe on a per-recipe basis. PACKAGECONFIG blocks are defined in
recipes when you specify features and then arguments that define
feature behaviors. Here is the basic block structure:
PACKAGECONFIG ??= "f1 f2 f3 ..."
PACKAGECONFIG[f1] = "--with-f1,--without-f1,build-deps-f1,rt-deps-f1"
PACKAGECONFIG[f2] = "--with-f2,--without-f2,build-deps-f2,rt-deps-f2"
PACKAGECONFIG[f3] = "--with-f3,--without-f3,build-deps-f3,rt-deps-f3"
which *seems* to suggest that you must first set PACKAGECONFIG to the
list of features, but i see numerous examples that don't seem to obey
that condition.
from meta-oe/recipes-extended, this looks good:
gnuplot/gnuplot.inc:PACKAGECONFIG ??= "cairo"
gnuplot/gnuplot.inc:PACKAGECONFIG[cairo] = "--with-cairo,--without-cairo,cairo pango"
this looks like it's missing a reference to "ftdi":
lcdproc/lcdproc5.inc:PACKAGECONFIG ??= "usb"
lcdproc/lcdproc5.inc:PACKAGECONFIG[usb] = "--enable-libusb,--disable-libusb,virtual/libusb0"
lcdproc/lcdproc5.inc:PACKAGECONFIG[ftdi] = "--enable-libftdi,--disable-libftdi,libftdi"
and this looks, well, totally wrong (at least according to the
explanation in the manual):
collectd/collectd_5.2.2.bb:PACKAGECONFIG ??= ""
collectd/collectd_5.2.2.bb:PACKAGECONFIG[snmp] = "--enable-snmp,--disable-snmp --with-libnetsnmp=no,net-snmp"
collectd/collectd_5.2.2.bb:PACKAGECONFIG[libmemcached] = "--with-libmemcached,--without-libmemcached,libmemcached"
collectd/collectd_5.2.2.bb:PACKAGECONFIG[iptables] = "--enable-iptables,--disable-iptables,iptables"
collectd/collectd_5.2.2.bb:PACKAGECONFIG[postgresql] = "--enable-postgresql,--disable-postgresql,postgresql"
collectd/collectd_5.2.2.bb:PACKAGECONFIG[dbi] = "--enable-dbi,--disable-dbi,libdbi"
collectd/collectd_5.2.2.bb:PACKAGECONFIG[modbus] = "--enable-modbus,--disable-modbus,libmodbus"
collectd/collectd_5.2.2.bb:PACKAGECONFIG[libowcapi] = "--with-libowcapi,--without-libowcapi,owfs"
collectd/collectd_5.2.2.bb:PACKAGECONFIG[sensors] = "--enable-sensors,--disable-sensors,lmsensors"
so ... clarification? oh, and while i'm here, it's easy enough to use
the "bb" utility to print PACKAGECONFIG:
$ bb show -r gnuplot PACKAGECONFIG
Parsing recipes..done.
PACKAGECONFIG="cairo"
$
but is there a way to display the value of PACKAGECONFIG[cairo]? "bb"
doesn't seem prepared to do something like that.

Not all features, but *enabled* features.

It's quite simple, usb is by default enabled, ftdi is by default
disabled.
If you want to enable ftdi in your .bbappend or through local.conf you
need to add ftdi to PACKAGECONFIG variable.
