[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: fix garbage text in generated HTML guides

[Luca Boccassi]

If the user has MAKEFLAGS set in the environment when building the
documentation, the doc/guides/conf.py script which calls "make"
exclusively to get the project version might pick up garbage from
stdout, like:

<title>FAQ — Data Plane Development Kit make[2]:
Entering directory '/build/1st/dpdk-18.11/doc/guides'
18.11.0
make[2]: Leaving directory '/build/1st/dpdk-18.11'
documentation</title>

Override MAKEFLAGS in the Python subprocess call to avoid this issue.
