configuring when dpdk has been installed with apt.

[dewisantf...@gmail.com]

I want to build Pcap++ to use DPDK, where DPDK has been installed from the Debian archive rather than built locally.  As there's no DPDK source directory - the header files are in a few locations under /usr/include - what should i set dpdk-home to?

Hi,

The current configuration and build system doesn't support this use-case unfortunately. It assumes a specific folder structure that comes with the source version of DPDK.

However you can tweak that pretty easily if you change the folder structure in PcapPlusPlus.mk.dpdk:

https://github.com/seladb/PcapPlusPlus/blob/master/mk/PcapPlusPlus.mk.dpdk

You may also need to tweak the configuration script, especially where DPDK_HOME is being used:

https://github.com/seladb/PcapPlusPlus/blob/master/configure-linux.sh

Finally, if you're using the setup-dpdk.sh script provided with PcapPlusPlus you might need to add some changes there also.

Thanks,

PcapPlusPlus maintainer
