.. _Building_Your_Own_Application:
Building Your Own Application
=============================
Compiling a Sample Application in the Development Kit Directory
---------------------------------------------------------------
When compiling a sample application (for example, hello world), the following variables must be exported:
RTE_SDK and RTE_TARGET.
.. code-block:: console
~/DPDK$ cd examples/helloworld/
~/DPDK/examples/helloworld$ export RTE_SDK=/home/user/DPDK
~/DPDK/examples/helloworld$ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
~/DPDK/examples/helloworld$ make
CC main.o
LD helloworld
INSTALL-APP helloworld
INSTALL-MAP helloworld.map
The binary is generated in the build directory by default:
.. code-block:: console
~/DPDK/examples/helloworld$ ls build/app
helloworld helloworld.map
Build Your Own Application Outside the Development Kit
------------------------------------------------------
The sample application (Hello World) can be duplicated in a new directory as a starting point for your development:
.. code-block:: console
~$ cp -r DPDK/examples/helloworld my_rte_app
~$ cd my_rte_app/
~/my_rte_app$ export RTE_SDK=/home/user/DPDK
~/my_rte_app$ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
~/my_rte_app$ make
CC main.o
LD helloworld
INSTALL-APP helloworld
INSTALL-MAP helloworld.map
Customizing Makefiles
---------------------
Application Makefile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The default makefile provided with the Hello World sample application is a good starting point. It includes:
* $(RTE_SDK)/mk/rte.vars.mk at the beginning
* $(RTE_SDK)/mk/rte.extapp.mk at the end
The user must define several variables:
* APP: Contains the name of the application.
* SRCS-y: List of source files (\*.c, \*.S).
Library Makefile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is also possible to build a library in the same way:
* Include $(RTE_SDK)/mk/rte.vars.mk at the beginning.
* Include $(RTE_SDK)/mk/rte.extlib.mk at the end.
The only difference is that APP should be replaced by LIB, which contains the name of the library. For example, libfoo.a.
Customize Makefile Actions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some variables can be defined to customize Makefile actions. The most common are listed below. Refer to
:ref:`Makefile Description <Makefile_Description>` section in
:ref:`Development Kit Build System <Development_Kit_Build_System>`
chapter for details.
* VPATH: The path list where the build system will search for sources. By default,
RTE_SRCDIR will be included in VPATH.
* CFLAGS_my_file.o: The specific flags to add for C compilation of my_file.c.
* CFLAGS: The flags to use for C compilation.
* LDFLAGS: The flags to use for linking.
* CPPFLAGS: The flags to use to provide flags to the C preprocessor (only useful when assembling .S files)
* LDLIBS: A list of libraries to link with (for example, -L /path/to/libfoo - lfoo)
