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 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 The list of available targets are in $(RTE_SDK)/config (remove the defconfig\_ prefix). The GNU standards variables may be used: http://gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html and http://gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html Example: .. code-block:: console make install DESTDIR=myinstall prefix=/usr 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 Documentation Targets --------------------- * doc Generate the documentation (API and guides). * doc-api-html Generate the Doxygen API documentation in html. * doc-guides-html Generate the guides documentation in html. * doc-guides-pdf Generate the guides documentation in pdf. Misc Targets ------------ * help Show a quick 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_LDLIBS=, 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 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'
