Hi,

While compiling DPDK for VPP v23.02 on Centos 8, we saw below compilation error:-

In file included from ../src-dpdk/drivers/common/mlx5/mlx5_common_mr.c:14:
../src-dpdk/drivers/common/mlx5/linux/mlx5_glue.h:15:10: fatal error: infiniband/mlx5dv.h: No such file or directory
 #include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
Could not rebuild .
make[3]: *** [packages/dpdk.mk:218: /opt/vpp/build/external/rpm/tmp/.dpdk.install.ok] Error 255
make[3]: Leaving directory '/opt/vpp/build/external'
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.whpNsT (%install)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.whpNsT (%install)
make[2]: *** [Makefile:113: vpp-ext-deps-23.02-8.x86_64.rpm] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/opt/vpp/build/external'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:125: install-rpm] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/opt/vpp/build/external'
make: *** [Makefile:627: install-ext-deps] Error 2

It is not able to find "infiniband/mlx5dv.h".

What could be the reason for this error? Any package that might be missing and needs to install or are we missing something here?

Thanks and Regards,
Chinmaya Agarwal.

Probably same package requirements as normal DPDK support for Mellanox.
