Inference Engine build infrastructure provides the Inference Engine Developer Package for plugin development.
To automatically generate the Inference Engine Developer Package, run the cmake
tool during a DLDT build:
Once the commands above are executed, the Inference Engine Developer Package is generated in the dldt-release-build
folder. It consists of several files:
InferenceEngineDeveloperPackageConfig.cmake
- the main CMake script which imports targets and provides compilation flags and CMake options.InferenceEngineDeveloperPackageConfig-version.cmake
- a file with a package version.targets_developer.cmake
- an automatically generated file which contains all targets exported from the OpenVINO build tree. This file is included by InferenceEngineDeveloperPackageConfig.cmake
to import the following targets:IE::ngraph
- shared nGraph libraryIE::inference_engine
- shared Inference Engine libraryIE::inference_engine_transformations
- shared library with Inference Engine ngraph-based TransformationsIE::inference_engine_preproc
- shared library with Inference Engine preprocessing pluginIE::inference_engine_plugin_api
- interface library with Inference Engine Plugin API headersIE::inference_engine_lp_transformations
- shared library with low-precision transformationsIE::pugixml
- static Pugixml libraryIE::xbyak
- interface library with Xbyak headersIE::itt
- static library with tools for performance measurement using Intel ITTIE::gtest
, IE::gtest_main
, IE::gmock
- Google Tests framework librariesIE::commonTestUtils
- static library with common tests utilitiesIE::funcTestUtils
- static library with functional tests utilitiesIE::unitTestUtils
- static library with unit tests utilitiesIE::ngraphFunctions
- static library with the set of ngraph::Function
buildersIE::funcSharedTests
- static library with common functional testsNote: it's enough just to run
cmake --build . --target ie_dev_targets
command to build only targets from the Inference Engine Developer package.
To build a plugin source tree using the Inference Engine Developer Package, run the commands below:
A common plugin consists of the following components:
src
foldertests
folderTo build a plugin and its tests, run the following CMake scripts:
CMakeLists.txt
, which finds the Inference Engine Developer Package using the find_package
CMake command and adds the src
and tests
subdirectories with plugin sources and their tests respectively:NOTE: The default values of the
ENABLE_TESTS
,ENABLE_FUNCTIONAL_TESTS
options are shared via the Inference Engine Developer Package and they are the same as for the main DLDT build tree. You can override them during plugin build using the command below:
```bash $ cmake -DENABLE_FUNCTIONAL_TESTS=OFF -DInferenceEngineDeveloperPackage_DIR=../dldt-release-build ../template-plugin ```
src/CMakeLists.txt
to build a plugin shared library from sources:NOTE:
IE::inference_engine
target is imported from the Inference Engine Developer Package.
tests/functional/CMakeLists.txt
to build a set of functional plugin tests:NOTE: The
IE::funcSharedTests
static library with common functional Inference Engine Plugin tests is imported via the Inference Engine Developer Package.
