Found In Version: 10.18.44.3

Fix Version: 10.18.44.8

Severity: Standard

Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 18

Component/s: Build & Config

Description

In DPDK package, it need to add .mk files under DPDK sdk. 
Without this DPDK application cannot build either host or target. 

Step1:
Build platform with dpdk-dev package into target image. 
../wrlinux-x/setup.sh --machines qemux86-64 --dl-layers --templates feature/dpdk feature/target-toolchain

Step2: Modify build/conf/local.conf and add packages like, 
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " kernel-devsrc dpdk-dev dpdk-staticdev  lua lua-dev lua-staticdev libpcap-dev"

Then build platform 

Step2: 
In the target image,  /usr/share/dpdk does not have mk/ directory. Which DPDK-SDK need them.

Workaround

Modify layers/meta-dpdk/recipes-extended/dpdk/dpdk.inc  and added line to mk/ directory was included.

FILES_${PN}-dev += " \
	${INSTALL_PATH}/${RTE_TARGET}/.config \
	${includedir} \
	${includedir}/${ARCHDIR} \
	${includedir}/exec-env \
	${INSTALL_PATH}/buildtools/ \
	${INSTALL_PATH}/${RTE_TARGET}/include \
	${INSTALL_PATH}/${RTE_TARGET}/lib \
	${INSTALL_PATH}/mk/ \  <- Add this line
	"
