This change in behavior is likely behind the CI failure: http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/1617022234-13618-1-git-send-email-juraj.lin...@pantheon.tech/ The generic build should work everywhere, which hints at something we may need to look at. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Juraj Linkeš <juraj.lin...@pantheon.tech> > > Sent: Monday, March 29, 2021 2:51 PM > > To: tho...@monjalon.net; david.march...@redhat.com; > > bruce.richard...@intel.com; honnappa.nagaraha...@arm.com > > Cc: dev@dpdk.org; Juraj Linkeš <juraj.lin...@pantheon.tech> > > Subject: [PATCH v4] build: add platform meson option > > > > The current meson option 'machine' should only specify the ISA, which > > is not sufficient for Arm, where setting ISA implies other setting as well. > > Add a new meson option, 'platform', which differentiates the type of > > the build > > (native/generic) and sets machine accordingly, unless the user chooses > > to override it. > > The 'machine' option also doesn't describe very well what it sets, so > > introduce a new option 'cpu_instruction_set', but keep 'machine' for > > backwards compatibility. > > These two new variables, taken together, achieve what 'machine' was > > setting per architecture - setting the ISA in x86 build and setting > > native/default 'build type' in aarch64 build - is now properly being > > set for all architectures in a uniform manner. > > > > Signed-off-by: Juraj Linkeš <juraj.lin...@pantheon.tech> > > --- > > config/arm/meson.build | 6 ++--- > > config/meson.build | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- > > devtools/test-meson-builds.sh | 9 ++++--- > > meson_options.txt | 8 ++++-- > > 4 files changed, 48 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) > >
