+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
|
|

+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
