Re: [dpdk-users] Using DPDK with a pre-existing C++ application compiled in Eclipse.

["terry.montague.1980@btinternet.com" <terry.montague.1980@btinternet.com>]

Hi Gaetan,

I mean I'm building DPDK before I link with my app eclipse.

Switching CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB to 'y', rebuilding DPDK  and adding -d options for the path as well as librte_pmd_i40e.so.1.1 going into  rte_eal_init(), I'm seeing the devices being detected.

Any ideas on this problem with libdpdk.so below ?

Many thanks 

Terry

Where are you getting your prebuilt rte_ libs?
If you have the corresponding archive file, do you link rte_pmd_i40e?
