Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] virtio-net-pmd: .gitignore: ignore librte_pmd_virtio.so
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2014 09:12:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DA4E51A6-B7A5-41A2-9565-2B294242E547@mhcomputing.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3422655.1tIybTbukh@xps13>

In the virtio-net-pmd it is done in the same directory. Hence me submitting this to try to make it easier for others to use the product.

Also the default DPDK doesn't ignore the build target directories... but I already had to fork that one to fix clang compile failures in the examples files.

Matthew.
