I'm having problem in compiling the Intel DPDK on my Fedora and I really need that.

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
== Build scripts
== Build scripts/testhost
== Build lib
== Build lib/librte_eal
== Build lib/librte_eal/common
== Build lib/librte_eal/linuxapp
== Build lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/igb_uio
make: *** /lib/modules/3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64/build: File or directory not found.  Stop.
make[7]: ** [igb_uio.ko] Error 2
make[6]: ** [igb_uio] Error 2
make[5]: ** [linuxapp] Error 2
make[4]: ** [librte_eal] Error 2
make[3]: ** [lib] Error 2
make[2]: ** [all] Error 2
make[1]: ** [i686-default-linuxapp-gcc_install] Error 2
make: ** [install] Error 2

Can someone help me please?

You should install linux headers:

yum install kernel-devel

Then build/ should be a symlink to files needed to build kernel modules.

  • @Thomas, the problem seems to be with the build folder, not the missing headers themselves at first glance. Why do you think it would fix the issue? – László Papp Jan 29 '14 at 11:08
  • it can be put as a comment instead of question. it is mentioned in the previous comment @LaszloPapp – Shiva Saurabh Jan 29 '14 at 11:16

    @Saurabh: comment instead of question? I do not follow. Also, why would you put use comment if you think a solution is right? Just tell Thomas if there are issues. This long "It is wrong, but I do not point out why" is not necessary. – László Papp Jan 29 '14 at 11:23
  • @LaszloPapp my previous comment was mistyped. I mean to say "Comment instead of Answer". i felt the answer was not a solution to the question asked in terms of length and content as it lacked much explanation. if you feel that the answer is appropriate then i appreciate it. i will delete my first comment if so. – Shiva Saurabh Jan 29 '14 at 12:49

    @Saurabh: I personally do not think Thomas' answer fixes the issue, but at least I let him know why, so he can address my concern if I am wrong. Just saying "this is not an answer" does not let Thomas know why it may or may not be wrong. – László Papp Jan 29 '14 at 14:14

It looks like RTE_KERNELDIR variable is not set correctly. The installer is not able to access kernel level parameters.
