Hi Saloni,

Also verify that the DPDK build folder you are specifying in the OVS configure step exists.

Thanks,
Kevin.

Hey Saloni,

I could build with DPDK on current master, following INSTALL.DPDK.

Could you make sure you updated the `config/common_linuxapp` and
set `CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_COMBINE_LIBS=y` (listed in step 2 in
INSTALL.DPDK)?

If you missed this step, you will have the `cannot link with dpdk` error,

Thanks,
Alex Wang,

Hi Team,

We are trying to install ovs with DPDK refering to INSTALL.DPDK.md<http://INSTALL.DPDK.md> file.

dpdk 1.7.1 is taken from the link dpdk.org/download<http://dpdk.org/download>
cloned the latest master code of openvswitch from github

We have verified that our NIC is supported with file lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_pci_dev_ids.h.

We have successfully build DPDK but we are getting following error in configuring OVS:

checking target hint for cgcc... x86_64
checking whether make has GNU make $(1) extension... yes
configure: error: cannot link with dpdk.

Can anyone please provide some inputs for resolution of above error?

Thanks & Regards,
