Hello Thomas, Is the way the make install target really works documented somewhere? This target did not exist when I first used DPDK in 2011, and since then I saw various documentation on building DPDK in various places, but not that much explanation what make install actually does. I recall various list threads about changing its behavior as well. For example, if I look at this apparently most official document: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html It has build examples such as: make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc But it does not discuss "O=" or "DESTDIR=" or any other additional options. From some experiments on my machine, it looks like maybe I could do this: make install "T=${RTE_TARGET}" "O=build" "DESTDIR=build" Is that a valid possibility, to keep it all in one easy directory? Thanks, Matthew.
