Arduino as component: Cannot exclude Arduino library without excluding added libraries

[RA5040]

Core Installation/update date: Current
IDE name: IDF component: Arduino

Referring to: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/docs/esp-idf_component.md

It isn't possible to exclude an Arduino library (menuconfig/Arduino Configuration/Include only specific Arduino libraries) without at the same time excluding user-added libraries. This has come to light with the current need to exclude the SD_MMC library as this has a compilation error.

By selecting the option 'Include only specific Arduino libraries' I also cause the U8g2 library (that I have added to the /components/arduino/libraries) to be excluded.

I would like to suggest that:

• the option 'Include only specific Arduino libraries' should be changed to 'Exclude specific Arduino libraries'
• an additional option be added: 'Include specified third-party/user libraries' (or that the documentation should be enhanced to explain how to add third-party libraries)

I bodged my way through adding a 3rd party library (MQTT PubSubClient ) buy letting ALL Arduino library's be compiled - but deleting the SD_MMC directory first. so everything in the libs folder is getting compiled - i did not try too to edit component.mk

OP is probably correct. Exclude rather than include seems a better way to manage this. Workaround: just add the one line needed to fix SD_MMC. #1836
