[dpdk-users] Not able to compile dpdk-18.02.2 in gcc version 4.4

Hi,

Am trying to compile dpdk-18.02.2 in rhel 6.10 which has gcc version 4.4.

while compiling am facing following error

In file included from

make[1]: *** [pre_install] Error 2
make: *** [install] Error 2

it seems i need gcc 4.5 and above to overcome this error.
but my internal tools are running on gcc 4.4, so that am not able to
upgrade the version.

is there any other way to overcome this issue ?

Thanks in advance !

This normally means the define ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API is not defined, which is normally put on the make command line using -D option.
