Re: [dpdk-dev] 1.7.0 release failed to compile on linux

[Qiaobing Xie <qiaobing.xie@gmail.com>]

OK, I made the following 3 changes and the v1.7.0 release tarball got 
built cleanly on my older machine (Ubuntu 12.04/kernel 
3.13.0-32-generic, Intel C2D E6550 without SSE4.x, gcc 4.6.3):

1) kcompat.h change version check from 3.14.0 -> 3.13.8, as Roger suggested.

2) disable RTE_IXGBE_INC_VECTOR:
-CONFIG_RTE_IXGBE_INC_VECTOR=y
+CONFIG_RTE_IXGBE_INC_VECTOR=n

3) disable CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_ACL:
-CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_ACL=y
+CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_ACL=n

I haven't tried to test run anything yet... What would be the 
implication without LIBRTE_ACL and IXGBE_INC_VECTOR built?

-Q
