Hi Thomas, sorry being away so long due to the Christmas break. May bad assumption of being a typo was based on a coincidence combining
a) former packaging in ubuntu had it in fact under /usr/share/doc/dpdk (I agree that just /usr/share/dpdk would be better) b) if you just and only ran a build and install-doc (no other install targets); the install failes just by missing the datadir That lead me to the wrong assumption it might be in /usr/share/doc/dpdk intentionally. But you are right, lets fix b) instead which is just a mkdir -p in the makefile. Alternative patch will follow.
