it still exists after i reinstall libarchive.

Anyway, i still try to figure it out, any progress will post later.

[tchaikov]

@mickey298 probably you could provide more background, like how you configure the building system, like if you are using the dpdk built by yourself, or installed using the package system, or cooked using --cook option. anyway, this deserves another issue.

i guess the root cause is that you enabled dpdk, and dpdk pulls libarchive in if the latter is installed in the system. while we does not use libdpdk.pc for calculating the ldflags exposed by seastar library. because we want to statically link against libdpdk, we just pull the .a archives manually with a hardwired name list, but we missed the libraries linked by it.

OS

it is a fresh new vm system. and upgrade to latest.

sudo pacman -Syu

after clone this repo and sub module(git submodule update),only run the install-dependencies.sh to install dependencies.
and configure command:

./configure.py --mode=release --enable-dpdk --prefix=/usr

then

 ninja -C build/release

@tchaikov

[tchaikov]

thanks. so my guess is correct. could you file another issue attached with this information and error messages from linker?

[mickey298]

I will try to reproduce this issue on another fresh new vm...But it will take some time.
