Hi Dmitry, Thank you! One more thing, when I added /WHOLEARCHIVE, I hit some errors due to macro definitions. ex: ws2_32.lib(WS2_32.dll) : error LNK2005: WS2_32_NULL_THUNK_DATA already defined in mincore.lib(WS2_32.dll) Shlwapi.lib(SHLWAPI.dll) : error LNK2005: __NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR already defined in mincore.lib(api-ms-win-core -com-l1-1-0.dll) Iphlpapi.lib(IPHLPAPI.DLL) : error LNK2005: __IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR_IPHLPAPI already defined in mincore.lib(IPHLPAPI. see: https://github.com/smadaminov/ovs-dpdk-meson-issues/issues/65 In the end, I have to add also: -Wl,/FORCE:MULTIPLE Thanks William
