Package: libdpdk-dev Severity: important Hi,
I tried to build OpenVSwitch with dpdk support in Debian, trying to converge with the Ubuntu package, to ease compatibility and all. However, I discovered that the issue in Debian is the DPDK package itself, which isn't exposing itself correctly. Here's the output of the ./configure --with-dpdk when it fails: --- SNIP --- checking for DPDK... yes checking for library containing get_mempolicy... -lnuma configure: error: Could not find DPDK library in default search path, Use --with-dpdk to specify the DPDK library installed in non-standard location make[1]: *** [debian/rules:26: override_dh_auto_configure] Error 1 --- SNAP --- To me, it just looks like DPDK isn't packaged to the right folder. If you want to try yourself, you can attempt to build what's in the Git here: I've pushed the dpdk support of OVS into a debian/with-dpdk-support. If there's a way to fix the Debian build with a parameter to --with-dpdk, please let me know, but as much as I tried, there's simply no way to fix without modifying the dpdk package. I'll try to see how I can fix the DPDK package and see if I can send you a patch, though I haven't figured out how to do this yet. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
