Dear DPDK Users,


I successfully built the mlx5 on Ubuntu 14.04 before, but when I tried to build it on Ubuntu 16.04, I encountered these compilation errors. The kernel version is 4.4.0-31-generic. Build command: make install T=T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc

Can anybody please tell me how to fix this? Thank you very much for your help.
