compiling with specific kernel headers

compiling with specific kernel headers

[Samuel Monderer]

Hi,

The target machine has a different kernel version than the one my Desktop.
I do have the appropriate kernel headers installed on my desktop.
Is there a parameter I can pass to make to tell him which headers to use?

Hi,

The "RTE_KERNELDIR" environment variable should be what you are looking for. It's described in section 26.3.3 of the Intel DPDK Programmers Guide doc. [http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-technology/intel-dpdk-programmers-guide.html]
