Hi David,

Are the DPDK pkgconfig files intended to work for Windows builds?

I've had a quick look and as far as I can see the dependencies are 
listed correctly,
but I was less convinced by the use of -Wl,--whole-archive which is 
specific to the
GNU linker (Clang/Link configuration requires a sequence of 
-Wl,-wholearchive:<library>).

SPDK doesn't currently support Windows, but there is work in progress 
(https://wpdk.github.io)
that can now natively attach an NVMe disk and serve storage from it.

Thanks,
Nick
