FromDPDKDevice(FLOW_RULES_FILE) only work with DPDK<=21.11

[pogobanane]

To make it work with dpdk 22.11, we have to patch a variable in flowruleparser.hh (see [1]).

To make it work with dpdk 23.07, we need additional patches (see [2]).

Great ! Thanks ! I'll include them with the proper ifdefs.

Did you do a runtime test or that's just for compilation?

[pogobanane]

I did runtime tests with an Intel E810.

Hi,

I have tried FastClick with dpdk 21.11.9 and it works. Now I am trying to use FastClick with newer dpdk versions, e.g., 24.11. However, while compiling FastClick I am getting the following errors:

../lib/dpdkdevice.cc:1206:28: error: ‘ERR’ was not declared in this scope
1206 | RTE_ETHDEV_LOG(ERR,
| ^~~
../lib/dpdkdevice.cc:1206:13: error: ‘RTE_ETHDEV_LOG’ was not declared in this scope
1206 | RTE_ETHDEV_LOG(ERR,

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Are you speaking about the Flow API also ? Or just trying to compile fastclick out of the box (and therefore unrelated to this?)
