[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 2/3] build: use Python pmdinfogen

Tue Oct 20 19:44:02 CEST 2020


Use the same interpreter to run pmdinfogen as for other build scripts.
Adjust wrapper script accordingly and also don't suppress stderr from ar
and pmdinfogen.

Add configure-time check for elftools Python module for Unix hosts.

Add python3-pyelftools to CI configuration. The package is available on
all major distributions. FreeBSD has no system requirements section in
its GSG. Currently neither Windows uses pmdinfogen, nor is COFF (PE)
supported.
