I believe this is due to an incompatibility with the linker but I couldn't find any such error on the internet. Can anyone please explain how to resolve this or even what this error means?

GCC version: 7.3.0

meson version: 0.58.1

ninja version: 1.10.0

OS version: CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

Hi,

Can you provide exact reproduction steps, including whether you are building DPDK directly via DPDK repository, or indirectly via the DPDK submodule in SPDK?

And which versions of SPDK/DPDK?

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim,

I built DPDK submodule via SPDK. I used the following set of commands inside spdk

./configure --disable-unit-tests --disable-tests --disable-examples --with-fuse --with-nvme-cuse
make

Spdk version - 21.01.1

Dpdk version - 21.0

Also, this error didn't pop when I used another compiler version -(clang or gcc-4.8.5). I suspect the problem is with the linker. I am using the following linker - GNU gold (version 2.27-27.base.el7) 1.12

[jimharris]

Can you try building DPDK standalone (i.e. not via SPDK's submodule) with the gold linker using instructions at https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html?
