[dpdk-users] Compilation problems in Ubuntu 16.04 with MLX5 options

[Andrés Pozo Muñoz]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build DPDK (tried with 17.11 and 18.02) on Ubuntu 16.04,
with MLX5 support and I'm getting some compilation errors.

The sequence of commands I follow:

Is there any problem with those DPDK versions in Ubuntu 16.04?
Has anyone experienced similar problems?


Thank you very much in advance!
