`make build` supports selectively compiling some of the binaries

[YaoZengzeng]

Task description:

Now we have 4 binaries in Kmesh project:

1. kmesh-daemon
2. mdacore
3. kmesh-cni
4. kmeshctl

ref: https://github.com/kmesh-net/kmesh/blob/main/Makefile#L45

It would be better if we could selectively compile some of the binaries, which would be very beneficial to improving our development efficiency.

Solution:

We need to adjust the Makefile structure and then we can pass parameters to make build, for example, BINARIES=kmeshctl make build, so that only kmeshctl is compiled.

After thinking about it, the “build” command actually runs kmesh_compile.sh. So the expected command is actually “BINARIES=kmeshctl make all”?

[YaoZengzeng]

Actullay you can't execute make all direclty, it need some prepration.

We usually use make build or make docker to compile, AFAIK, finally they will call make which is actually make all.

So you could try passing the BINARIES into kmesh_compile.sh and have it take effect somewhere. Perhaps some refactor is needed.
