[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/2] mk: fix build with shared library

[Stephen Hemminger]

If RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB is enabled, infrastruture libraries
that use registration API's need to always be included.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/2] bus: fix missing pci bus with shared library build

[Stephen Hemminger]

If DPDK is built as a shared library, then any application linked
with rte.app.mk will not find any buses (including PCI devices).

This is because the linker will not call the initializers
of the bus libraries since they are not directly called by
application or EAL.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/2] mk: fix missing mempool driver registration

[Stephen Hemminger]

Since mempool driver is now registered during constructor, the
mempool driver must always be linked in during shared library
build. Otherwise, application will fail because of missing default
mbuf pool operations.
