Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/dpdk: fix example build issue when libvirt is present
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 00:11:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828221147.2883191-1-thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com> (raw)
When libvirt is present before DPDK is built, some additional examples
are compiled. One of them fails to build due to a missing <stdlib.h>
include. Let's import a patch from OpenSuse, that we have submitted
upstream, to fix this issue.
We couldn't find any autobuilder failure for this issue, but the
following defconfig allows to reproduce the failure:
BR2_aarch64=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN_AARCH64_GLIBC_STABLE=y
BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_EUDEV=y
BR2_PACKAGE_DPDK=y
BR2_PACKAGE_DPDK_EXAMPLES=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBVIRT=y
The problem exists since DPDK v19.11, so it has been in Buildroot
since DPDK was introduced in commit
d17d1b6bde95d46376c4fe93e8ca1a1f9da6c179.
