Neil, your patch works. I am now able to run testpmd, as well as l3fwd with DPDK 1.8.0 and CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_COMBINE_LIBS=y. Thank you much!
In my original post, I thought my choice of hex portmask -p 0x3 was causing this issue -- now I know that was not the case. But, I am still curious about how the hex portmask is determined. Since I only have two ports bound to igb_uio, my hex postmask will always be 0x3? What if I choose to bind other ports to igb_uio? Is there a Linux command I can run to determine what mask to use with the -p option?
