Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/3] doc: add notes on overriding extra config values
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2020 15:49:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200903144942.671870-4-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200903144942.671870-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>
Since it's possible to tweak the DPDK build a little further using CFLAGS,
we note that in the documentation.
