Starting OFED 5.1 it stopped the support for MLX4 pmd And seems that you have some libmlx4 under your local lib dir, In the meanwhile what you can do when doing ninja is to disable mxl4 compilation:
meson build -D disable_driver=net/mlx4; ninja -C build Kindest regards, Raslan Darawsheh From: Gerry Wan <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 13, 2020 1:25 PM To: Raslan Darawsheh <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [dpdk-users] Enable MLX5 driver v20.11 Thanks, I updated my MLNX_OFED to 5.1-2.5.8.0, which was tested against for this DPDK release. To install, I ran ./mlnxofedinstall --dpdk --upstream-libs --with-mft --with-kernel-mft then /etc/init.d/openibd restart Now, ninja install gives me ../drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4_glue.h:16:10: fatal error: infiniband/mlx4dv.h: No such file or directory What other steps am I missing?

As for your question if you still don't need to bind mlx5 driver that's true, its still valid.
