Do not generate temporary doc files in the sources

Bug ID: 364
Summary: Do not generate temporary doc files in the sources
Product: DPDK
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: doc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---

At the moment, when building the documentation, some temporary files are created in the sources directories.

When switching branches and compiling the documentation for older releases (for example building a 17.11 documentation, with a master documentation built before) , this can trigger hard to understand build errors like:

Sphinx error:
master file .../doc/guides/compressdevs/index.rst not found make[1]: *** [.../mk/rte.sdkdoc.mk:110: guides-pdf-compressdevs] Error 2
make: *** [.../mk/rte.sdkroot.mk:116: doc-all] Error 2
