It is hard for me to spot what exactly is missing, but while it was never intended for trusty the version we have for xenial should get you going.
# all kind of dependencies sudo apt-get install build-essential ubuntu-dev-tools debhelper dh-python dh-systemd doxygen graphviz inkscape libcap-dev libpcap-dev libxen-dev libxenstore3.0 python python-sphinx texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-latex-extra # get the version we currently package for xenial pull-lp-source dpdk xenial # run the packaged build which takes care of most enabling/disabling and such cd dpdk-2.2.0 ./debian/rules build Also as you need at least some SSE (level depends on your config) which isn't in the guest by default. Take a look at this - although I'm not 100% sure how mouch of it works back on trusty. https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/serverguide/DPDK.html#dpdk-in-guest >From there you can derive into whatever you need. Or just take the build process as your starting point for your own. On the other hand I encourage you to go to 16.04 and just use the packaged version if that would suit your needs.
