The latest release of Openvswitch = has started to use Libtools to build it's own internal libraries. Previous = to this I built DPDK using DPDKs Makefiles and linked against the required = DPDK libraries in the Openvswitch Makefiles. However because of the Libtool= s change over we now receive the warnings like the following *** Warning: Linking the shared library lib/libopenvswitch.la against the *** static library /home/tester/rte/x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc/lib/librte_= mbuf.a is not portable! For all the DPDK libraries we link against. Doing some research on this war= ning leads me to believe it is related to how Libtool interacts with static= libraries that it has not built and the recommended solution seems to be u= se Libtool to build those libraries as well (In this case the DPDK librarie= s). Ideally I'd like to avoid this. Has anyone linked DPDK static libraries to libtool libraries before and if = so was it a case that DPDK had to be built with Libtool?
