./configure problem caused by infiniband/driver.h

[debe]

I've a problem configuring urdma. I tried with rdma-core versions 20.1, 19.1, 18.2 and 17.3. I've checked the debian package rules and indeed the infiniband/driver.h is missing in all of them.
Is this header really needed or only for the parameter checking inside configure script?
Otherwise I'd suggest to remove driver.h as it's been marked internal.

Can you send the contents of config.log when you try to build against rdma-core 18.2?

[debe]

of cause

config.log

PR #51 should fix the build for rdma-core 18.

Unfortunately, we must rely on internal rdma-core headers because rdma-core does not support out-of-tree drivers.

thanks I can confirm that PR #51 fixed the build, but PR #53 was also necessary as I'm running 4.18.

Hi Debe,

How did you install rdma-core 17+?
I have tried to install rdma-core by apt-get install, source code...
But the urdma configure always report error :
checking for library containing verbs_register_driver_18... no
checking for library containing verbs_register_driver_17... no
configure: error: urdma requires rdma-core >= MIN_VERSION
