Do you just want to compile DPDK or really install it?
Where do you want to install DPDK?

The "make config" command is useless if using "install T=" after.

> make install T=x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc

The install directory is not specified in this command.

Why don't you use DESTDIR as suggested?

Or instead of using the old all-in-one "install T=", you can use
the more standard syntax in 3 commands:
	make config T=<target>
	<adjust settings in .config>
	make
	make install [DESTDIR=] [prefix=]

These patches have been Superseded by newer (see the State field).

Please read the whole doc/guides/prog_guide/dev_kit_root_make_help.rst
and don't hesitate to suggest any change if something is not clear.

Hi

>Do you just want to compile DPDK or really install it?Where do you want to install DPDK?
I want to install DPDK into {$HOME}/dpdk   downloaded tar ball.

> The install directory is not specified in this command.
 After your suggestion i used as 
make config T=x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc DESTDIR=install 

and it successfully creates a install directory and libraries into it.
Doing so would require any change for RTE_SDK and RTE_TARGET?

Thanks && Regards
Vivek Gupta
