Openvswitch build, cannot link with dpdk












0














I'm trying to setup ovs-dpdk.

I have already built DPDK from the sources, verified testpmd is working.
Now I want to install ovs-dpdk, so I fetch the latest OVS tar.gz and run configure:



./configure --with-dpdk=$DPDK_BUILD


$DPDK_BUILD is the "dir where the dpdk has been unpacked"/build, because this is default path when the binaries go when I build DPDK (by means of "make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" + "make").



So when I try to configure ovs I always fail with "configure: error: cannot link with dpdk".

When I look into "config.log" I just see this:



 #include <rte_config.h>
| #include <rte_eal.h>
| int
| main ()
| {
| int rte_argc; char ** rte_argv;
| rte_eal_init(rte_argc, rte_argv);
| ;
| return 0;
| }
configure:20670: error: cannot link with dpdk


So, as I understand, it just tries to build the simplest dpdk app to check if DPDK libs are there, but it does not find them.

And I have no idea why, since I'm pointing them out using '--with-dpdk' option as described in the user guide...
