zachgk opened a new pull request #13364: [MXNET-1225] Always use config.mk in make install instructions
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13364
 
 
   ## Description ##
   Arguments to make for the mxnet build can be passed either directly through the command line or through config.mk. The install instructions are inconsistent and use both options. However, some frontends such as scala require the arguments as well so they must be passed to both the initial make and the following "make scalapkg". Failure to pass the arguments to the scalapkg make can result in an improper configuration and slower performance. To resolve this, I am switching the install instructions to consistently use the config.mk because it is automatically used by all make commands which resolves the potential frontend problems.
