    Mike, I'm looking to generated html docs and it looks like it's
    better to put that pages under User guide section.


There are two levels of information, the basic requirements and a human walk though. The contributing and dependencies from the src are the bare minimum information. They are part of the API SRC code. I think placing them is the API DOC follows the theme of doxygen that the api doc is the "pretty" rendering of the same information you can get by reading the header and makefiles directly - all low level and factual and generated from the src. This information should be a similar level to http://dpdk.org/doc/quick-start

I'm not sure that dependencies are part of API. It's dependencies to compile linux-generic platform which in the same repo as API definitions (api header files). That information can be interesting for users who want to compile linux-generic and try it and useless for people who look only on API. That is why I think it's more fit to UG for linux-generic platform then to common API.

Maxim.


The users guide is different, it is a verbose human document about the API and not just the terse requirements to build it. In this doc we should talk about how to use the API and building it should be described at length as part of that. This information should be similar in level to http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/index.html and http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/prog_guide/index.html



    Best regards,
    Maxim.
