Hi Gaëtan,

Its really only the net-i40e driver I need (for Intel XL710 cards). I'm not building DPDK itself as a shared library though.

Best Regards

Terry

Which NIC are you using? Which PMD do you need?

You can dynamically link specific DPDK drivers using -d in the EAL
parameters. Note that using PMDs as dynamic libraries may slightly
impair performances.
