[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mk: Fix examples install path

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Depending on non-doc targets being built before and the setting of DESTDIR
the examples dir could in some cases not end up in the right target.
Reason is just a typo variable reference in the copy target.

No, it was not a typo.
Do you really think the examples code should be in the doc dir
(i.e. /usr/share/doc/dpdk) instead of datadir (i.e. /usr/share/dpdk)?

Hi Thomas,
sorry being away so long due to the Christmas break.

May bad assumption of being a typo was based on a coincidence combining

a) former packaging in ubuntu had it in fact under /usr/share/doc/dpdk (I
agree that just /usr/share/dpdk would be better)
b) if you just and only ran a build and install-doc (no other install
targets); the install failes just by missing the datadir

That lead me to the wrong assumption it might be in  /usr/share/doc/dpdk
intentionally.

But you are right, lets fix b) instead which is just a mkdir -p in the
makefile.
Alternative patch will follow.
