Similar to commit 113c8e13c4201eee207723571f83aaf285277d75, but
for bnx2x and pcap PMDs.

Requiring applications to know about library internal details like
dependencies to external helper libraries is a limitation of
static linkage, shared libraries should always know their own
dependencies for sane operation. This is especially highlighted
with dlopen()'ed items, having applications link against about plugin
internal dependencies goes on the side of absurd.

Hi,

Are those the only two libraries with external dependencies? I took a 
quick look to the rte.app.mk file and there seem to be some others like 
-lfuse and -lnuma. Would it be possible to move those to their specific 
Makefiles as well?

Thanks,
Nico.

AFAICS those were only remaining *drivers* with external dependencies.

The libraries have dependencies of their own like you noted, but they're 
more scattered, and things start getting more complicated because of 
CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_COMBINE_LIBS etc. I plan to get to that later when time 
permits but wanted to get the driver side out of the way because they're 
the worst offenders, and one driver already does this so the situation 
is inconsistent too.

Some DPDK libraries have a dependency.
The Mellanox drivers embed this declaration in shared library case.
So the application do not need to know the dependency when linking.
But it cannot work with static libraries or the combined one.
Note that Mellanox drivers are currently not supported in a shared
combined library case.

Most of the DPDK libraries declare their dependencies to be linked
with the application in every cases, even when using drivers as
shared library plugins.
This patch improves the condition used for Mellanox drivers, so that
it can be applied to other drivers without breaking the shared
combined library case.

Similar to commit 113c8e13c4201eee207723571f83aaf285277d75, but
for bnx2x, pcap, sze2data and xenvirt PMDs.

static linkage, shared libraries should always know their own
dependencies for sane operation. This is especially highlighted
with dlopen()'ed items, having applications link against about plugin

Note that linking with a shared combined library still requires to
