<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I tried to build openvswitch with dpdk enabled debian package (openvswitch-switch-dpdk.2.7.2-1.deb) for OVS ver. 2.7.2.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I downloaded openvswitch-2.7.2.tar.gz from <a href="http://openvswitch.org/download">
http://openvswitch.org/download</a>, and dpdk-stable-16.11.2.targ.gz from <a href="http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/tag/?h=v16.11.2">
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/tag/?h=v16.11.2</a>. I could build and install dpdk and openvswitch with dpdk enabled by the “make install” method on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and verify they could work together.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, by getting dpdk_16.11.2.orig.tar.gz and dpdk_16.11.2-4.debian.tar from
<a href="https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/dpdk">https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/dpdk</a> , I could build dpdk-16.11.2-4 debian package and I verified that this dpdk_16.11.2-4 debian package work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, I could build openvswitch without dpdk enabled debian package by following the instruction in debian.rst in openvswith _2.7.2. But when I tried to build openvswitch with dpdk enabled by following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Install dpdk_16.11.2-4 debian package I built in the my building system<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]> export DATAPATH_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-dpdk=/usr"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then build openvswitch debian package again, I saw some libdpdk built, and the build completed, but openvswitch-switch-dpdk.2.7.2-1.deb wasn’t built while other openswitch debian package built.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What do I miss? It seems to me that the debian spec (debian sub-directory in openvswith 2.7.2) doesn’t have all info necessary to build openvswitch-switch-dpdk.2.7.2-1.deb, am I right? How to fix this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks a lot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
