Hi Newman,

AFAIK the current build system does not support that.

You can build DPDK as shared libs by setting the following config option:
CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=y

Then build your app as an .so that links against DPDK libs, so you have 
explicit dependencies (such dependencies should show with ldd).

Is there any reason why you want everything to be a single .so ?

I don't know much about how Java loads DSOs but I reckon that it must resolve
explicit dependencies such as libc.

Thanks,
Sergio
