Re: [dpdk-dev] Compilation of MLX5 driver

[Asaf Sinai <AsafSi@Radware.com>]

Additional details:

Ubuntu: 12.04.3
Linux: 3.2.0-53-virtual
GCC: 4.7.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-11precise2)

I tried to build DPDK 18.05 after installing the Mellanox OFED driver (MLNX_OFED_LINUX-4.0-2.0.0.1-ubuntu12.04-x86_64), but it failed with the mentioned error.
So I removed the OFED driver and installed the EN driver (mlnx-en-4.0-2.0.0.1-ubuntu12.04-x86_64), but it also failed with the same error.
Both drivers were compiled with "--dpdk" argument ("--upstream-libs" is not supported).

Hi Shahaf,

I face similar problem with DPDK 18.05, where missing file is "mlx5dv.h":

	== Build drivers/net/mlx5
	  CC mlx5.o
	In file included from /net/emcradware/CM_Users/asafsi/work/drivers/dpdk/dpdk-18.05/drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5.h:35:0,

	 #include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>
	                               ^

Can you please advise?

Thanks,
Asaf

In v17.05 MLX5 PMD is still relying on libibverbs and libmlx5, the way Those options you used are necessary to select in their package the installation of libverbs,libmlx5 or rdma-core.
Doing this you have selected rdma-core which is not supported in v17.05 DPDK version.

You need to install Mellanox OFED without those two options to select libibverbs, libmlx5 to make it work.
