[dpdk-users] Problem building DPDK libraries

[Pavey, Nicholas]

I don’t install in the default path. I do something like this:


  export RTE_SDK=<location of DPDK source code>/dpdk-16.04
  export DESTDIR=<location where I want DPDK to install>/install"
  export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc

  make clean install

That normally works for me on an Ubuntu 14.04 based machine.

You are all very helpful. Thank you.

I'm afraid 'make install' isn't working:

# make install
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'pre_install'.
================== Installing /usr/local/
cp: cannot stat 'build/lib/*': No such file or directory
/root/dpdk-2.2.0/mk/rte.sdkinstall.mk:116: recipe for target 'install-runtime' failed
make[3]: *** [install-runtime] Error 1

I do not really install DPDK, but use it from the source tree. If you want to install
it then look at the docs, it talks about install the binaries. The install is handy
with the T= option only to make sure you build the correct version and ignore
the warning at the end.
