Bernard Iremonger fc1f2750a3 doc: programmers guide
The 1.7 DPDK_Prog_Guide document in MSWord has been converted to rst format for
use with Sphinx. There is an rst file for each chapter and an index.rst file
which contains the table of contents.
The top level index file has been modified to include this guide.

This document contains some png image files. If any of these png files are modified
they should be replaced with an svg file.

This is the sixth document from a set of 6 documents.

Development Kit Root Makefile Help
==================================
The Intel® DPDK provides a root level Makefile with targets for configuration, building, cleaning, testing, installation and others.
These targets are explained in the following sections.
Configuration Targets
---------------------
The configuration target requires the name of the target, which is specified using T=mytarget and it is mandatory.
The list of available targets are in $(RTE_SDK)/config (remove the defconfig _ prefix).
Configuration targets also support the specification of the name of the output directory, using O=mybuilddir.
This is an optional parameter, the default output directory is build.
* Config
This will create a build directory, and generates a configuration from a template.
A Makefile is also created in the new build directory.
Example:
.. code-block:: console
make config O=mybuild T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
Build Targets
-------------
Build targets support the optional specification of the name of the output directory, using O=mybuilddir.
The default output directory is build.
* all, build or just make
Build the Intel® DPDK in the output directory previously created by a make config.
Example:
.. code-block:: console
make O=mybuild
* clean
Clean all objects created using make build.
Example:
.. code-block:: console
make clean O=mybuild
* %_sub
Build a subdirectory only, without managing dependencies on other directories.
Example:
.. code-block:: console
make lib/librte_eal_sub O=mybuild
* %_clean
Clean a subdirectory only.
Example:
.. code-block:: console
make lib/librte_eal_clean O=mybuild
Install Targets
---------------
* Install
Build the Intel® DPDK binary.
Actually, this builds each supported target in a separate directory.
The name of each directory is the name of the target.
The name of the targets to install can be optionally specified using T=mytarget.
The target name can contain wildcard \* characters.
The list of available targets are in $(RTE_SDK)/config (remove the defconfig\_ prefix).
Example:
.. code-block:: console
make install T=x86_64-*
* Uninstall
Remove installed target directories.
Test Targets
------------
* test
Launch automatic tests for a build directory specified using O=mybuilddir.
It is optional, the default output directory is build.
Example:
.. code-block:: console
make test O=mybuild
* testall
Launch automatic tests for all installed target directories (after a make install).
The name of the targets to test can be optionally specified using T=mytarget.
The target name can contain wildcard (\*) characters.
The list of available targets are in $(RTE_SDK)/config (remove the defconfig\_ prefix).
Examples:
.. code-block:: console
make testall, make testall T=x86_64-*
Documentation Targets
---------------------
* doxydoc
Generate the Doxygen documentation (pdf only).
Deps Targets
------------
* depdirs
This target is implicitly called by make config.
Typically, there is no need for a user to call it,
except if DEPDIRS-y variables have been updated in Makefiles.
It will generate the file $(RTE_OUTPUT)/.depdirs.
Example:
.. code-block:: console
make depdirs O=mybuild
* depgraph
This command generates a dot graph of dependencies.
It can be displayed to debug circular dependency issues, or just to understand the dependencies.
Example:
.. code-block:: console
make depgraph O=mybuild > /tmp/graph.dot && dotty /tmp/ graph.dot
Misc Targets
------------
* help
Show this help.
Other Useful Command-line Variables
-----------------------------------
The following variables can be specified on the command line:
* V=
Enable verbose build (show full compilation command line, and some intermediate commands).
* D=
Enable dependency debugging. This provides some useful information about why a target is built or not.
* EXTRA_CFLAGS=, EXTRA_LDFLAGS=, EXTRA_ASFLAGS=, EXTRA_CPPFLAGS=
Append specific compilation, link or asm flags.
* CROSS=
Specify a cross toolchain header that will prefix all gcc/binutils applications. This only works when using gcc.
Make in a Build Directory
-------------------------
All targets described above are called from the SDK root $(RTE_SDK).
It is possible to run the same Makefile targets inside the build directory.
For instance, the following command:
.. code-block:: console
cd $(RTE_SDK)
make config O=mybuild T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
make O=mybuild
is equivalent to:
.. code-block:: console
cd $(RTE_SDK)
make config O=mybuild T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
cd mybuild
# no need to specify O= now
make
Compiling for Debug
-------------------
To compile the Intel® DPDK and sample applications with debugging information included and the optimization level set to 0,
the EXTRA_CFLAGS environment variable should be set before compiling as follows:
.. code-block:: console
export EXTRA_CFLAGS='-O0 -g'
The Intel® DPDK and any user or sample applications can then be compiled in the usual way.
For example:
.. code-block:: console
make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc make -C examples/<theapp>
