Hello, I recently started working with DPDK and gone through the initial steps of getting source code installed and trying out few examples. To integrate DPDK with our product, I need to build the share-lib version of DPDK. I run into an issue when I build DPDK as shared, I don't see this issue when DPDK is built as static. DPDK built with default configuration, I can run the examples and get expected results. When built as shared, EAL detects no Ethernet ports.
I am building shared-lib version using steps below: . switch the CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB to y in the config/common_base . make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc . make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc . export RTE_SDK=$HOME/dpdk-18.08 . export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc . build examples. . Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to $HOME/dpdk-18.08/ x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib I am using Intel I350 Quad port NIC, and have switched to uio_pci_generic driver => Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver ============================================ 0000:06:00.0 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' drv=uio_pci_generic unused=igb 0000:06:00.1 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' drv=uio_pci_generic unused=igb 0000:06:00.2 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' drv=uio_pci_generic unused=igb 0000:06:00.3 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' drv=uio_pci_generic unused=igb When I run any examples, I get error 'No Ethernet ports'. root:l2fwd$./build/l2fwd EAL: Detected 6 lcore(s) EAL: Detected 1 NUMA nodes EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/rte/mp_socket EAL: No free hugepages reported in hugepages-1048576kB EAL: Probing VFIO support... MAC updating enabled EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1 Cause: No Ethernet ports - bye Interestingly, same code base built with 'CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB=n' works just fine. The ports get detected correctly and I can run all the examples and applications. Your help is appreciated. Regards, Chai.
