Do you just want to compile DPDK or really install it?
Where do you want to install DPDK?

The "make config" command is useless if using "install T=" after.
> make install T=x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc
The install directory is not specified in this command.

Why don't you use DESTDIR as suggested?
Or instead of using the old all-in-one "install T=", you can use
the more standard syntax in 3 commands:
make config T=<target>
<adjust settings in .config>
make
make install [DESTDIR=] [prefix=]

These patches have been Superseded by newer (see the State field).

Please read the whole doc/guides/prog_guide/dev_kit_root_make_help.rst
and don't hesitate to suggest any change if something is not clear.
