Hi, Thanks for working on OVS. You need a version of OVS that supports pkg-config. Myself and Christian fixed that upstream a number of months ago, although I cannot remember which version the fixes are in. The older versions are looking for a linker script (libdpdk.so) which doesn't exist anymore upstream. Note that dpdk is exactly the same in Debian and Ubuntu - we jointly maintain it from the same source base. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
