Hi all,

I'm trying to compile DPDK kernel drivers (i.e., igb_uio.ko and kni.ko if I=
 got it right) only on a certain machine.
On that machine, I'm not interested in anything else. how can I tweak .conf=
ig file to achieve it?

I have tried to set all options to =3Dn, except for:

CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_EAL=3Dy
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_EAL_LINUXAPP=3Dy
CONFIG_RTE_EAL_IGB_UIO=3Dy
CONFIG_RTE_EAL_VFIO=3Dy
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_KNI=3Dy

But then I get a compile error about app/dump_cfg:

=3D=3D Build app/dump_cfg

How can I avoid building any app like dump_cfg?

Thanks!
