[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/3] build: fix driver install path

Bruce Richardson bruce.richardson at intel.com
Wed Sep 20 12:51:06 CEST 2017


To comply with the "hier" standard [Ref: man 7 hier], the driver .so files
should not be placed in $datadir. Therefore we install them in a
sub-directory of $libdir instead.

Fixes: d123bba2dfbe ("build: add initial infrastructure for meson & ninja builds")
