I get a couple of errors building this on Fedora 28. First problem is that
I get a compilation error for a missing rte_fifo.h. The fix for that error
is to ensure the current dir is on the include list:
' -I' + meson.build_root() +
+ ' -I' + meson.current_source_dir() +
' -I' + meson.current_source_dir() + '/ethtool/ixgbe' +
Then I hit a second error, where the compile fails because the output
directory for the ethdev files does not exist.
Fatal error: can't create
/home/bruce/dpdk-clean/build-gcc-static/kernel/linux/kni/ethtool/ixgbe/ixgbe_ethtool.o:
No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:318:
/home/bruce/dpdk-clean/build-gcc-static/kernel/linux/kni/ethtool/ixgbe/ixgbe_ethtool.o]
Error 2
I haven't fixed this, but I think the easiest fix is probably to split the
file lists so that each file is listed in a meson.build in its own
subdirectory. Then using subdir to build up the file list rather than
having it all at one gom should cause meson to create the subdirectory
structure in the build directory.
There may be other, better solutions, though.
