Basically this patch just adds missing dependencies to DPDK DSOs. so the DL knows about them. As an example, if we were to build an application against DPDK without adding the libs defined in EXECENV_LDLIBS: -- pre-patch: LD test test_red.o: In function `ovfl_test1': test_red.c:(.text+0x1ac6): undefined reference to `log' test_red.c:(.text+0x1ad3): undefined reference to `ceil' test_red.o: In function `perf2_test': test_red.c:(.text+0x2314): undefined reference to `pow' test_red.o: In function `func_test3': test_red.c:(.text+0x28d7): undefined reference to `pow' test_red.o: In function `func_test6': test_red.c:(.text+0x324c): undefined reference to `pow' dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib/libintel_dpdk.so: undefined reference to `dlopen' dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib/libintel_dpdk.so: undefined reference to `log2' dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib/libintel_dpdk.so: undefined reference to `dlerror' dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/lib/libintel_dpdk.so: undefined reference to `round' -- post-patch: LD test /usr/bin/ld: test_red.o: undefined reference to symbol 'log@@GLIBC_2.2.5' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'log@@GLIBC_2.2.5' is defined in DSO /lib64/libm.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line /lib64/libm.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation Thanks, Sergio > -- > Thomas
