Hi,
looking at the code in DPDK for 19.11, rte_ether.h no longer has the
unaligned_uint16_t type in rte_ether.h. For example, line 84 of rte_ether.h
should read as below:
81 static inline int rte_is_same_ether_addr(const struct rte_ether_addr *ea1,
82 const struct rte_ether_addr *ea2)
83 {
84 const uint16_t *w1 = (const uint16_t *)ea1;
85 const uint16_t *w2 = (const uint16_t *)ea2;
86
Have you got mixed header files from two different DPDK releases?
