[ovs-discuss] Cannot link with dpdk

I don't see an issue with the steps you mentioned here. Can you try using a static library instead of shared library.

Replace CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=n and reinstall the DPDK library(you should see libdpdk.a) and see if this makes a difference?

Bhanu Prakash.

Subject: RE: [ovs-discuss] Cannot link with dpdk

Initially I had tried with with-dpdk= homedirectory/dpdk2.2/install/share/dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc but nothing happened. then switched to
with-dpdk=homedirectory/dpdk2.2/ x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc but problem is as it is.

Did I commited any wrong step in DPDK installations? My steps are as below-

  1.  untar dpdk-2.2.0.tar.gz
  2.  Changed following configuration variable in config/common_linuxapp

1.   CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_COMBINE_LIBS=y

CONFIG_RTE_LIBEAL_USE_HPET=y

CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=y

CONFIG_RTE_RING_SPLIT_PROD_CONS=y

CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_PCAP=y

  1.  make config T=x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc
  2.  make install T=x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc DESTDIR=install
  3.  export RTE_SDK='<homedirectory>/dpdk2.2/install/share/dpdk
  4.  Compiled and run "HelloWorld" example.
  5.  untar openvswitch-2.5.0.tar.gz
  6.  ./boot.sh and start running configuration.



Initially I was building DPDK as below steps-

  *   make config T=x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc
  *   make && make install

After make install step I was getting error "Cannot install DPDK with T defined and DESTDIR undefined"

By taking help from forums I changed my "make install" step as "make install x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc DESTDIR=install"



I am stuck in OVS configuration with DPDK. Please suggest.



Thanks & Regards

Vivek

Hello Vivek,

I quickly verified the issue you reported and could reproduce it. When one use install target 'x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc' the directory layout is slightly different.

make install T= x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc DESTDIR=install creates  '<homedirectory>/dpdk2.2/install/share/dpdk/ x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc`, where as one expects the directory layout to be '<homedirectory>/dpdk2.2/install/share/dpdk/ x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc`.

This is the reason the OVS configure was failing in your case. Try passing -with-dpdk= homedirectory/dpdk2.2/install/share/dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc (or)  --with-dpdk=homedirectory/dpdk2.2/ x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc

Bhanu Prakash.

Set my path-to-dpdk to homedirectory/dpdk2.2/ x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc and this should resolve your issue.

Yes, I am able to see libdpdk.so file in path-to-dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib

Please find attached config.log file.

To be mention that I have install DPDK2.2 as below

  1.  make config T=x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc
  2.  make install T= x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc DESTDIR=install

my path-to-dpdk = homedirectory/dpdk2.2/install/share/dpdk.



Please suggest.



Thanks & Regards

Vivek

Do you see DPDK library in the path mentioned path-to-dpdk/x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc/lib/libdpdk.a?

Hi


I am trying to configure OVS 2.5 with DPDK 2.2 with following option

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var -with-dpdk=path-to-dpdk-/x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc/ --enable-ssl



but I get error message "configure: error: cannot link with dpdk"



You need to have CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_COMBINE_LIBS=y while building dpdk.
