Hi, I've submitted a PR <https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/pull/5388> to vcpkg <https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg> vcpkg overview: "Vcpkg helps you manage C and C++ libraries on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This tool and ecosystem are constantly evolving; your involvement is vital to its success!" In short, the `port` contains CMake wrapper on top of original DPDK which cloned from github. The `port` invokes native DPDK build system (after checking dependencies) builds, installs and exports all necessary libs/headers. So the end user dont have to know the internals and prerequisites of DPDK to start using it. Once the `./vcpkg install dpdk` is invoked your local cmake becomes aware of the new library and thats it, go ahead, start working :)
Now, what I need is your attention to the build arguments I pass. Please review the PR and see if any refinement is needed to build the DPDK properly. The CMake file which invokes the build https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/pull/5388/commits/4943d24817b6c28d8eb012923445b0200e0a2abe#diff-37ba6f3b75f1a77e6d44c8c546abaa8f Please pay special attention to the DPDK_TARGET, DPDK_CONFIG and DPDK_CFLAGS variables. Not sure I get everything right. Your comments and suggestions are appreciated! Sincerely, Ernest
