Please could you add the error here? > To get this result, we > need two pkgconfig files for DPDK, one for the shared libs, and a second > for the static libs and drivers, which depends upon the first. I feel we are doing something wrong. We should not have two .pc files. I also know that static linkage is generally badly supported in pkg-config... Please could you insert the output of pkg-config to help understanding? Thanks
