Hi all, 

For future reference problem root casue was missing package for the kernel version I was using.  

After doing 

zypper install kernel-default-devel-3.12.28-4.6.x86_64

Compilation worked fine.

Thanks Mellanox team for the support.

Regards
Sotiris

Sotiris, 

I've compiled MLNX_DPDK-2.1_1.1 on SLES12  3.12.28-4-default with OFED 3.1-1.0.3 with no issues. Also, no modifications were required - simply follow the quick start guide here - http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=209&mtag=pmd_for_dpdk

If you are still having issues please mail me directly and we'll sort it out.

Thx.

Hi Sotiris, 

You can disable compilation of igb_uio, this module is not needed for Mellanox PMD.

Let me know if you have any question 

Best Regards,
Olga
