The latest pktgen uses meson/ninja and DPDK must be built and installed, which
appears to be the case. The ‘find’s you did were only looking in the local
build directories and not in the DPDK installed location.
The normal installed location of DPDK is here from the ‘pkg-config’ command:
rkwiles@purley (main):.../intel/dpdk$ pkg-config --libs libdpdk
-L/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -Wl,--as-needed -lrte_node -lrte_graph
-lrte_bpf -lrte_flow_classify -lrte_pipeline -lrte_table -lrte_port -lrte_fib
-lrte_ipsec -lrte_vhost -lrte_stack -lrte_security -lrte_sched -lrte_reorder
-lrte_rib -lrte_regexdev -lrte_rawdev -lrte_pdump -lrte_power -lrte_member
-lrte_lpm -lrte_latencystats -lrte_kni -lrte_jobstats -lrte_ip_frag -lrte_gso
-lrte_gro -lrte_eventdev -lrte_efd -lrte_distributor -lrte_cryptodev
-lrte_compressdev -lrte_cfgfile -lrte_bitratestats -lrte_bbdev -lrte_acl
-lrte_timer -lrte_hash -lrte_metrics -lrte_cmdline -lrte_pci -lrte_ethdev
-lrte_meter -lrte_net -lrte_mbuf -lrte_mempool -lrte_rcu -lrte_ring -lrte_eal
-lrte_telemetry -lrte_kvargs -lbsd
Please note the location is /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory for libs
and the /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig for the libdpdp.pc file.
The PKG_CONFIG_PATH should be set to /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
if needed.
I am using Ubuntu 20.04.1 and I do not have PKG_CONFIG_PATH set. It is possible
the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf contains the
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory as a search path for DPDK libs and
libdpdk.pc file.
Because you don’t have DPDK installed in the default location, you will need to
install it in the default location or find the magic path to the libdpdk.pc
file and set PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Make sure you
