Please, could you update documentation to explain RTE_DEVEL_BUILD option? Some users could try to build from git, so we should advise to disable RTE_DEVEL_BUILD. These files might be updated: http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/doc/build-sdk-quick.txt http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.rst http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/doc/guides/freebsd_gsg/build_dpdk.rst http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/doc/guides/prog_guide/dev_kit_build_system.rst Thanks
