Attempting to use DPDK 18.11 with Monday's OVS commit that supports DPDK 18.11 (commit 03f3f9c0faf838a8506c3b5ce6199af401d13cb3). When building OVS with DPDK support I'm receiving a build error related to libmnl not being found while compiling the Mellanox driver as follows:

Both the OVS and DPDK builds work individually but I receive the error after running "./configure --with-dpdk=<DPDK target path>; make" to build OVS with DPDK. I ran across this post on the DPDK list regarding libmnl, indicating there is a dependency issue:

But DPDK builds successfully by itself. Any suggestions where the build is breaking down?
