The librte_ethtool library depends on librte_pmd_ixgbe if that pmd driver is enabled so we need to link against it when we compile the ethtool application. It fixes the following build problem:
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/6/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: warning: librte_pmd_ixgbe.so.1, needed by /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/ dpdk-17.02/examples/ethtool/lib/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib/ librte_ethtool.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/dpdk-17.02/examples/ethtool/lib/ x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib/librte_ethtool.so: undefined reference to `rte_pmd_ixgbe_set_vf_rxmode@DPDK_17.02' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Cc: Nirmoy Das <n...@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <mchand...@suse.de> --- examples/ethtool/ethtool-app/Makefile | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/examples/ethtool/ethtool-app/Makefile b/examples/ethtool/ethtool-app/Makefile index 09c66ad19..9382ca7c3 100644 --- a/examples/ethtool/ethtool-app/Makefile +++ b/examples/ethtool/ethtool-app/Makefile @@ -50,5 +50,8 @@ CFLAGS += $(WERROR_FLAGS) LDLIBS += -L$(subst ethtool-app,lib,$(RTE_OUTPUT))/lib LDLIBS += -lrte_ethtool +ifeq ($(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_PMD),y) +LDLIBS += -lrte_pmd_ixgbe +endif include $(RTE_SDK)/mk/rte.extapp.mk -- 2.11.0
