Hello Panu,
Thanks for the comments. I have follow up question on the auto discovery of
DPDK install location.
As the DPDK install location can vary with distros, do OVS configure script
has to search for DPDK libraries in /usr/local/share as a starting point and
proceed to /usr/share location (or) search only in /usr/local/share and throw
up an error in case of missing libraries?
I'd say try the most likely prefixes (/usr/local and /usr) and error out
if not found.
On a related note, if a path is manually specified in --with-dpdk then
autodiscovery should be skipped, whether the specified path contains
dpdk or not.
I shall send out the updated patch based on your feedback.
Thanks for working on this.
Another, a different kind of approach would be working on adding a
pkg-config file to dpdk which would largely make this kind of guessing
unnecessary.
