[dpdk-dev] Unable to compile DPDK 1.5 on Debian GNU/Linux: lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/igb_uio

[Marc Sune]

Dear all,

I am unable to compile DPDK 1.5 (and previous versions) on Debian 
GNU/Linux Wheezy (7) and Squeeze (6).

It seems to me an issue with Make, probably different default flags on 
this distribution, since the problematic Makefile is really there. The 
funny part is that I was able to compile it on other Debian-like systems 
(Ubuntu), but not on all of them. Of course I can install another OS, 
but it is annoying to move from the usual environment, and in principle 
it _should_ work.

Any ideas? Am I missing something?

Best regards
marc

     config: fix combined/shared lib

     - Configuration for combined and shared library was only in the 
template
     defconfig_x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc.
     - CONFIG_RTE_LIBNAME was in the wrong section
     - RTE_LIBNAME had no quote in "C context" (include/rte_config.h)
     - and then CONFIG_RTE_LIBNAME quotes were not properly removed in 
"make context"
