Hi Keith,

The original error is gone, thanks! But I get another one a bit later
(source up to date from git for pktgen, DPDK 2.2.0 as SDK) :

  CC pktgen-capture.o

                 from /root/pktgen-dpdk/app/pktgen-capture.c:68:

/root/dpdk-2.2.0/mk/rte.extsubdir.mk:46: recipe for target 'app' failed
make: *** [app] Error 2

This is fixed by this patch:

root@dpdk3:~/pktgen-dpdk/app# git diff
Then it fails linking:

  LD pktgen
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llua
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried a few things and got this link working but then I got errors
about implicit declaration of function ‘lua_putstring’  and this is a
macro in 5.3.0 but not present in 5.3.2, a bit more lua transition work
is probably needed :).

Sincerely,

Laurent
