I can confirm that with 19.11.8 the build of OpenVswitch vs a meson-built DPDK works again. Tested on OVS 2.13.3 vs DPDK 19.11.8-rc1 in Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10 on all supported architectures (amd64,armhf,arm64 and ppc64el - the others s390x/riscv64 don't have DPDK built). > A release candidate tarball can be found at: > > https://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/tag/?id=v19.11.8-rc1 > > These patches are located at branch 19.11 of dpdk-stable repo: > https://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/ > > Thanks. > > Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrha...@canonical.com> > > --- > Christian Ehrhardt (7): > Revert "Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: prevent overlinking""" > Revert "Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: improve static linking > flags""" > Revert "Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: output drivers first for > static build""" > Revert "Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: move pkg-config file > creation""" > Revert "Revert "Revert "build: always link whole DPDK static > libraries""" > Revert "Revert "Revert "devtools: test static linkage with pkg-config""" > Regenerate meson.build changes required due to reverts -- Christian Ehrhardt Staff Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd
