Probably, however I see that in the ELDK-5.x build framework it is not
used. Setting SDKIMAGE_FEATURES += " log4cxx-dev" doesn't work, as well
as "=".

I finally got my dev package installed and packed to the toolchain
after adding "log4cxx-dev" to the list of RDEPENDS_${PN}
in /meta-eldk/recipes-qt/packagegroups/packagegroup-qte-toolchain-target.bbappend.

Do you know how to achieve the same via the build configuration in
conf/local.conf? Setting RDEPENDS_meta-toolchain-qte or
RDEPENDS_packagegroup-qte-toolchain-target in conf/local.conf is
ignored. I think this is because RDEPENDS variable is parsed only for
the .bb recipes.

Yes, this works. Thanks!
