curl package config

curl package config

Hello
I am trying to enable the SMB protocol when building curl library by Yocto
the original recipe is under meta/recipes-support/curl

in my image's local.conf I have
IMAGE_INSTALL_append += "curl-dev"

curl is built correctly, but SMB is disabled

So I tried to add a .bbappend file with same name as the recipe's name,
with this line only :
PACKAGECONFIG = "--enable-smb"

but I still have SMB disaabled on curl.

Which is the right way to enable it with PACKAGECONFIG?
or another way ?
thank you

You just want to add "smb" to the variable PACKAGECONFIG in the bbappend.
But since the original recipe uses ??= to assign the default PACKAGECONFIG
value you probably want to either redefine the whole variable as the
original recipe, but adding "smb"
PACKAGECONFIG = "${@bb.utils.filter('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'ipv6', d)} gnutls
libidn proxy threaded-resolver verbose zlib smb"

I think it could work if you use _append as well, since I think that's
added after the ??= operator is evaluated. So you can also try (note the
space before smb):
PACKAGECONFIG_append = " smb"

Cheers,
Erik

thank you

This is just the wrong syntax. PACKAGECONFIG is not a list of
configure options. It's a list of "features" to enable, which are then
translated into appropriate configure options (and dependencies) based
on rules defined in the recipe. Maybe look through some existing
recipes in oe-core to get some idea of how the process works.

Using _append like this to add values to PACKAGECONFIG is the
recommended way (ie don't try to use +=) for the reasons mentioned.

Redefining the entire variable isn't necessary or recommended (it
requires more maintenance to keep the .bbappend value in sync with any
changes in the base recipe).

thank to both of you, it worked with the .bbappend file placed in the
folder of one of my layers and with
PACKAGECONFIG_append = " smb"
