In fact, libfabric-provider-dpa currently builds as a shared library
and installs as /usr/lib/libfabric/libdpa-fi.so<br>

Let's say it is not my goal for the next week, especially since some
mandatory features are missing (notably event counters). But
eventually, why not.<br>

I did say LGPL.<br>

Thanks for the licensing feedback everybody. I will rediscuss
licensing with both my supervisor (prof. Marco Aldinucci, currently
in CC) and A3Cube.<br>

In fact, I didn't do anything special to make it build in a
restricted environment, but I didn't do anything as well to make
sure it builds everywhere :)<br>
<br>
Apart of my not-so-portable build scripts, your major problem is
that the provider requires DPALIB, which is part of A3Cube driver
offering. DPALIB and the driver are open source under LGPL (which
partly explains my license choice), although they don't distribute
it publicly.<br>
<br>
If you can't wait to get your hands on it, I suggest you contact
A3Cube directly also to get access to their fabric:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://a3cube-inc.com/contact-us.html">http://a3cube-inc.com/contact-us.html</a>. Meanwhile, given this strong
feedback and interest, I will reach them so that they are directly
involved in this discussion.<br>
