🛠️ Building and Testing

To build and test the routines in all sub-projects:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines.git
   cd optimized-routines
   

2. Set up the build configuration:

   cp config.mk.dist config.mk
   # Edit config.mk as needed
   

3. Build and test:

   make
   make check
   

4. Install: By default install headers and library at prefix=/usr/

   make prefix=/path/to/install install
   

Building and Testing a single subproject:

In order to build a single subproject <sub> use the following commands

make all-<sub>
make check-<sub>
make prefix=/path/to/install install-<sub>

Alternatively, the config.mk file can be updated to specify a list of sub-projects.

Cross-Building:

For cross-building, set CROSS_COMPILE in config.mk and define EMULATOR for cross-testing (e.g., using qemu-user or remote access to a target machine). Refer to examples in config.mk.dist.
