By default, both test-build.sh and test-meson-builds.sh scripts create the builds they generate in the current working directory, leading to a large number of build directories being present when testing patches. This patchset modifies both scripts to use a DPDK_TEST_BUILD_DIR environment variable to control where the build outputs are put.
For example, doing: export DPDK_TEST_BUILD_DIR=__builds ./devtools/test-meson-builds.sh && ./devtools/test-build.sh \ x86_64-native-linux-clang+shared i686-native-linux-gcc gives a "__builds" directory with 14 meson and 2 make builds (with the meson build count depending on compiler availability) Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richard...@intel.com> --- devtools/test-build.sh | 3 ++- devtools/test-meson-builds.sh | 7 ++++--- doc/guides/contributing/patches.rst | 6 ++++++ 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/devtools/test-build.sh b/devtools/test-build.sh index 2bedbdb98..b64c963d7 100755 --- a/devtools/test-build.sh +++ b/devtools/test-build.sh @@ -63,6 +63,7 @@ print_help () { [ -z $MAKE ] && echo "Cannot find make or gmake" && exit 1 J=$DPDK_MAKE_JOBS +builds_dir=${DPDK_TEST_BUILD_DIR:-.} short=false unset verbose maxerr=-Wfatal-errors @@ -234,7 +235,7 @@ for conf in $configs ; do . $(dirname $(readlink -f $0))/load-devel-config options=$(echo $conf | sed 's,[^~+]*,,') - dir=$conf + dir=$builds_dir/$conf config $dir $target $options echo "================== Build $dir" diff --git a/devtools/test-meson-builds.sh b/devtools/test-meson-builds.sh index 08e83eb5c..f61709761 100755 --- a/devtools/test-meson-builds.sh +++ b/devtools/test-meson-builds.sh @@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ set -o | grep -q pipefail && set -o pipefail && PIPEFAIL=1 srcdir=$(dirname $(readlink -f $0))/..
