            Bug ID: 237
           Summary: Running test-build.sh Fails on ppc_64 fails due to
                    hard-coded requirement for IXGBE_PMD in
                    examples/vm_power_manager
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 19.05
          Hardware: POWER
                OS: Linux
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: examples
          Assignee: dev at dpdk.org
          Reporter: drc at linux.vnet.ibm.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The default configuration file config/defconfig_ppc_64-poweer8-linux-gcc
disables the IXGBE_PMD, indicating that it is not a tested adapter.  

The example application vm_power_manager has hard-coded dependencies on three
specific poll-mode drivers, including the IXGBE_PMD.

When running the devtools/test-build.sh script to verify a patch for IBM Power
systems, the script will fail because the include file rte_pmd_ixgbe.h, used by
 examples/vm_power_manager/main.c cannot be found. This results in the
test-build.sh script returning a failure even though any patch being tested
might be valid.
