Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] Add build switches for all DPDK applications. This makes it possible to skip building applications (and build only libraries or kernel drivers).

Hi,

Thanks for the patch.

The patch needs to signed and the title is too long (part of it should be in the body). See the following contributing guidelines:

    http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/7935/

I don't know if people will want to add more compile time options. In general we are trying to remove them.

I do like the idea of being able to turn off building app/test which can a long time (even with -j).

Maybe it should only be built when you run "make test".

John.
