Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC PATCH] build: allow passing extra config header to build
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2020 16:31:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201112163134.1893190-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)

To allow per-build override of some settings, without having to change
DPDK source-code files, i.e. rte_config.h, we can add an option to allow
the user to pass in a file containing their own defines for the build.

Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>

This is just a quick RFC to show what might be possible and to help keep the
discussion going on how to improve build config in DPDK!
