Hi All,
  Iam trying to install OVS with DPDK . Iam using OVS version 2.4.0 and DPDK version 2.1.0.

root at pktgen:/usr/src/dpdk# git branch
* (detached from v2.1.0)
  master

root at pktgen:/usr/src/ovs# git branch
* (detached from v2.4.0)
  master

I built the DPDK with
 CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_COMBINE_LIBS=y in the config/common_linuapp file.

The command used to build DPDK is "make install T=x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc". And I confirmed the folder exists in dpdk dir

root at pktgen:/usr/src/dpdk# ls
app  config  doc  drivers  examples  GNUmakefile  lib  LICENSE.GPL  LICENSE.LGPL  MAINTAINERS  Makefile  mk  pkg  scripts  tools  x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc

I tried the configure command from OVS
root at pktgen:/usr/src/ovs# ./configure --with-dpdk=/usr/src/dpdk/x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wno-cast-align"

Each time it fails with
checking whether make has GNU make $(if) extension... yes
configure: error: cannot link with dpdk

I tried cleaning up the folders and building it multiple times. It fails with the same error.

OS Used:
root at pktgen:/usr/src/ovs# uname -a
Linux pktgen 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root at pktgen:/usr/src/ovs# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release:        14.04
Codename:       trusty

Thanks in Advance for your Help!,

Regards,
Sharmila
