Intel DPDK Compilation Error

Question

I had a problem compiling Intel DPDK on my Fedora and I really need it.

This is what I have in my terminal:

[gois@localhost dpdk-1.5.2r1]$ make install T=i686-default-linuxapp-gcc
================== Installing i686-default-linuxapp-gcc

make[3]: ** [lib] Error 2
make[2]: ** [all] Error 2
make[1]: ** [i686-default-linuxapp-gcc_install] Error 2
make: ** [install] Error 2

Can anybody help me?

Answer 1

You must set the linux headers:

yum install kernel-devel

Then build / should be a symbolic link to the files needed to build kernel modules.

Answer 2

It looks like the RTE_KERNELDIR variable is set incorrectly. The installer cannot access kernel level parameters.
