Would it make more sense to leave out the INHERIT and WINSDK_NO_SYMLINK.
Instead, if you need this, you can inherit the class in your recipe or local.conf

Hi Samuli,

From my experience, users will usually prefer a variable setting when it's possible.

Take this case as an example, they could put this setting in their <distro>.conf, site.conf or local.conf, then no matter meta-mingw is included or not, 'bitbake <something>' still works.

Regards,
Qi

Hi Joshua,

I just tried it out. Using INHERIT:append:sdkmingw32 works.
We have to use :append instead of "+=3D" to avoid ove= rriding settings.

I'll send out V3.
