<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a new crypto PMD submitted on ML (<a href="http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/cover/20221008083747.6559-1-zhangfei.gao@linaro.org/">http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/cover/20221008083747.6559-1-zhangfei.gao@linaro.org/</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This PMD is dependent on an external library which needs to be cross compiled for ARM on x86.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It mandatorily need “numactl” also cross-compiled and instead of using pkg-config of libnuma, it need the library and headers to be copied manually to aarch toolchain.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And if that is also done, it is not generating pkg-config which DPDK can use to compile the PMD.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the question is whether we can accept the PMD without pkg-config and along with above dependency?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
