1) perf build
|
||||
=============
|
||||
The perf build process consists of several separated building blocks,
|
||||
which are linked together to form the perf binary:
|
||||
- libperf library (static)
|
||||
- perf builtin commands
|
||||
- traceevent library (static)
|
||||
- GTK ui library
|
||||
|
||||
Several makefiles govern the perf build:
|
||||
|
||||
- Makefile
|
||||
top level Makefile working as a wrapper that calls the main
|
||||
Makefile.perf with a -j option to do parallel builds.
|
||||
|
||||
- Makefile.perf
|
||||
main makefile that triggers build of all perf objects including
|
||||
installation and documentation processing.
|
||||
|
||||
- tools/build/Makefile.build
|
||||
main makefile of the build framework
|
||||
|
||||
- tools/build/Build.include
|
||||
build framework generic definitions
|
||||
|
||||
- Build makefiles
|
||||
makefiles that defines build objects
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to tools/build/Documentation/Build.txt for more
|
||||
information about build framework.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2) perf build
|
||||
=============
|
||||
The Makefile.perf triggers the build framework for build objects:
|
||||
perf, libperf, gtk
|
||||
|
||||
resulting in following objects:
|
||||
$ ls *-in.o
|
||||
gtk-in.o libperf-in.o perf-in.o
|
||||
|
||||
Those objects are then used in final linking:
|
||||
libperf-gtk.so <- gtk-in.o libperf-in.o
|
||||
perf <- perf-in.o libperf-in.o
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE this description is omitting other libraries involved, only
|
||||
focusing on build framework outcomes
