We're starting to get build failures in travis starting from "dpdk: add support for v2.1.0", see https://travis-ci.org/openvswitch/ovs/builds/79313522:
/usr/bin/ld: ./dpdk-2.1.0/build/lib/libdpdk.a(eal_common_errno.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.8' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ./dpdk-2.1.0/build/lib/libdpdk.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [lib/libopenvswitch.la] Error 1 Later, we're starting to get mysterious new WARN messages as well, see e.g. https://travis-ci.org/openvswitch/ovs/builds/79382525. I don't know whether these are DPDK-related (maybe they have something to do with the travis hypervisor): --- /dev/null 2015-09-09 03:04:05.314298479 +0000 +++ /home/travis/build/openvswitch/ovs/openvswitch-2.4.90/_build/tests/testsuite.dir/at-groups/28/stdout 2015-09-09 03:11:22.092167061 +0000 @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +2015-09-09T03:11:22Z|00005|netdev_linux|WARN|venet0 device has unknown hardware address family 65535 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
