Hi vpp devs, I have been trying to run vpp on latest master branch with mlx 5 enables on centos 8.2 machine . I have downloaded and installed the mellanox driver from url:https://www.mellanox.com/products/infiniband-drivers/linux/mlnx_ofed and installed the following dependencies: #yum install perl-Term-ANSIColor #yum install tcl tk python36 #./mlnxofedinstall --upstream-libs --dpdk --without-fw-update #/etc/init.d/openibd restart
I cloned the latest master branch (v21.01-rc0) (git clone -b master https://gerrit.fd.io/r/vpp) I enabled mlx5 from file:build/external/packages/dpdk.mk DPDK_MLX5_PMD ?= y DPDK_MLX5_COMMON_PMD ?= y Then I followed these steps to compile vpp : #make wipe-release #make install-dep #make install-ext-deps #make build-release # make pkg-rpm #rpm -ivh *.rpm The compilation went fine , but got the following issue while installing the rpm files: #rpm -ivh *.rpm error: Failed dependencies: python(abi) = 2.7 is needed by vpp-api-python-21.01-rc0~352_g1f85dad1e.x86_64 python-setuptools is needed by vpp-api-python-21.01-rc0~352_g1f85dad1e.x86_64 I changed line 143 on extras/rpm/vpp.spec: From "python-setuptools" to " python3-setuptools". Then , I proceeded with re-compile, and was able to install vpp successfully after that. But when starting vpp, it kept crashing with error below: Nov 6 15:01:44 sim01 systemd[1]: Starting Vector Packet Processing Process... Nov 6 15:01:44 sim01 systemd[1]: Started Vector Packet Processing Process. Nov 6 15:01:44 sim01 vpp[1557233]: */usr/bin/vpp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/vpp_plugins/dpdk_plugin.so: undefined symbol: ibv_fork_init* Nov 6 15:01:44 sim01 systemd[1]: vpp.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a Nov 6 15:01:44 sim01 systemd[1]: vpp.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Nov 6 15:01:48 sim01 systemd[1]: Stopped Vector Packet Processing Process. How can I compile vpp with mlx so that it didn't crash . Thanks and Regards, Ashish
