[dpdk-users] Compiling fails

[Nishant Verma]

Please check the sec 3 of GSG.
Actually, what dpdk make procedure is looking for, DESTDIR for it to store
the lib and other stuff.

make install T=$RTE_TARGET DESTDIR=$DESTINATION_DIR

Here, RTE_TARGET is your target for example x86_64-native-linux-gcc
&
DESTINATION_DIR is any folder location where you want to store the libs.
