Please be aware if you do that your new code and anything built from the
Squid Makefile MUST be GPLv2 compliant.

Those options are auto-generated by the autotools build chain.

The -L flag should be passed by the ./configure LDFLAGS= parameter or
coded into Makefile.am variable as a relative path. Its unlikely the
exact absolute path will remain the same even within your build
machines. I see you are using some path under ".../tmp" for example.


Libraries are added to squid_LDADD variable. That takes the form:

 squid_LDADD += -lusdpaa_dma
or
 squid_LDADD += -L$(top_srcdir)/../usdpaa/ -lusdpaa_dma


which assumes the squid and usdpaa library code checkouts are sitting
next to each other.


Same deal for the -I value in the ./configure CXXFLAGS= parameter, or in
the Makefile.am as a relative path:

 AM_CPPFLAGS += -I$(top_srcdir)/../usdpaa/include/
