After installation, a build directory structure is created.
-Each build directory contains include files, libraries, and applications:

+Each build directory contains include files, libraries, and applications.
A build directory is specific to a configuration that includes architecture + execution environment + toolchain.
It is possible to have several build directories sharing the same sources with different configurations.
* rte.extapp.mk: External application
-* rte.hostapp.mk: Host application in the development kit framework
+* rte.hostapp.mk: prerequisite tool to build dpdk
Library
^^^^^^^
* rte.subdir.mk: Build several directories in the development kit framework.
+.. _Internally_Generated_Build_Tools:
+
+Internally Generated Build Tools
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``app/dpdk-pmdinfogen``
+
+
+``dpdk-pmdinfogen`` scans an object (.o) file for various well known symbol names.
+These well known symbol names are defined by various macros and used to export
+important information about hardware support and usage for pmd files. For
+instance the macro:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ RTE_PMD_REGISTER_PCI(name, drv)
+
+Creates the following symbol:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static char this_pmd_name0[] __attribute__((used)) = "<name>";
+
+
+Which ``dpdk-pmdinfogen`` scans for. Using this information other relevant
+bits of data can be exported from the object file and used to produce a
+hardware support description, that ``dpdk-pmdinfogen`` then encodes into a
+json formatted string in the following format:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static char <name_pmd_string>="PMD_INFO_STRING=\"{'name' : '<name>', ...}\"";
+
+
+These strings can then be searched for by external tools to determine the
+hardware support of a given library or application.
+
+
.. _Useful_Variables_Provided_by_the_Build_System:
Useful Variables Provided by the Build System
By default, the variable is set to /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build,
which is correct when the target machine is also the build machine.
+* RTE_DEVEL_BUILD: Stricter options (stop on warning). It defaults to y in a git tree.
+
Variables that Can be Set/Overridden in a Makefile Only
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* POSTCLEAN: A list of actions to be taken after cleaning. The user should use += to append data in this variable.
-* DEPDIR-y: Only used in the development kit framework to specify if the build of the current directory depends on build of another one.
+* DEPDIRS-$(DIR): Only used in the development kit framework to specify if the build of the current directory depends on build of another one.
This is needed to support parallel builds correctly.
Variables that can be Set/Overridden by the User on the Command Line Only
* LDFLAGS_my_app: Specific flags to add when linking my_app.
-* NO_AUTOLIBS: If set, the libraries provided by the framework will not be included in the LDLIBS variable automatically.
-
* EXTRA_CFLAGS: The content of this variable is appended after CFLAGS when compiling.
* EXTRA_LDFLAGS: The content of this variable is appended after LDFLAGS when linking.
+* EXTRA_LDLIBS: The content of this variable is appended after LDLIBS when linking.
+
* EXTRA_ASFLAGS: The content of this variable is appended after ASFLAGS when assembling.
* EXTRA_CPPFLAGS: The content of this variable is appended after CPPFLAGS when using a C preprocessor on assembly files.
