Description

trying to build Lustre 2.7 client with Mellanox OFED3.2
when I compile with the standard way,

./configure --disable-server --with-o2ib=/usr/src/ofa-kernel-3.2

the configure run fails at the stage of o2ib

"can't compile with OpenIB gen2 headers under /usr/src/ofa-kernel-3.2

when not specifying o2ib, the compilation process completes.

Comments

can be closed, documentation failure
build should be done with ./configure --with-o2ib=/usr/src/ofa-kernel/default not /usr/src/ofa-kernel-3.2
leads to unresolved symbols

Hi Kris,
Can you tell us who owns the documentation which is incorrect? Is there a remedial action for Intel to take?

Thanks,

Mellanox and my own notes.
Fixed in the mean time.

Might be worth a note in the build guide wiki.

Thanks Kris.

I'll pass on your thought about documenting this.
