I am not getting any Network devices but when I use DPDKs example Makefile I am able get the devices. What should be the reason for this as in both cases the function is the same.

The drivers do not use a strong compiler link to be included in the image. What happens is the rte.app.mk will include the drivers and the use constructor calls to bind to DPDK.
