[ovs-dev] [PATCH dpdk-latest v3] build: Remove DPDK make build references.

Sunil Pai G sunil.pai.g at intel.com
Wed Nov 25 16:36:20 UTC 2020


Building DPDK using Make is removed since DPDK 20.08.
Hence, remove its references in OVS as well.

Fixes: 540e70fba6d5 ("build: Add support for DPDK meson build.")
Signed-off-by: Sunil Pai G <sunil.pai.g at intel.com>

---
v2->v3:
- fix the parsing of pkg-config libs with sed.
  The library output information from pkg-config varies betwen distro's.
  To handle these cases, prepend "-Wl," to the DPDK_vswitchd_LDFLAGS variable.

- fix documentation for exporting paths.
  The installed path for dpdk libraries varies depending on distro's
  when prefix is used for meson.
  hence, remove the hardcoded path for PKG_CONFIG_PATH and
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

v1->v2:
- replace python script for pkg-config output parsing
  with native linux tools.

-   When using Meson, DPDK is built both as static and shared library.
-   So no extra configuration is required in this case.
+   Exporting the path to library is not necessary if the DPDK libraries are
+   system installed. For libraries installed using a prefix, export the path
+   to this library and also update the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH for use
+   before building OVS::
 
-   In case of Make, DPDK can be built as either a static library or a shared
-   library.  By default, it is configured for the former. If you wish to use
-   the latter, set
-   ``CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=y`` in ``$DPDK_DIR/config/common_base``.
+      $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/installed/DPDK/libraries
+      $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/installed/".pc" file/for/DPDK
 
    .. note::
 
       Minor performance loss is expected when using OVS with a shared DPDK
       library compared to a static DPDK library.
 
-#. Configure and install DPDK using Make
-
-   Build and install the DPDK library::

-       $ export DPDK_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc

-       $ make install T=$DPDK_TARGET DESTDIR=install
-
-#. (Optional) Export the DPDK shared library location
-
-   If DPDK was built as a shared library using Make, export the path to this
-   library for use when building OVS::
-
-       $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DPDK_DIR/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib
-
-   In case of Meson, exporting the path to library is not necessary if
-   the DPDK libraries are system installed. For libraries installed using
-   a prefix(assuming $DPDK_INSTALL in the below case), export the path to this
-   library and also update the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH for use before building OVS::
-
-      $ export $DPDK_LIB=$DPDK_INSTALL/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
-      $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DPDK_LIB/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

-
