Vagrant up fails with the message that the box chef/fedora-20 not found.

Thanks for the bug report, @smallen3!

That box no longer exists, we need to move to a new one. For most projects affected by this, we've moved to boxcutter/fedora22.

If you're up for changing it, verifying it and sending a PR, I'd love to merge it. :)

Thanks again for the contribution!

@dfarrell07 ..thanks for the quick response :) I have started to try with the box you mentioned but vagrant up seems to fail at the part where CBench is Built. It says undefined reference to time_diff but the header file utilities.h in the oflops code has the definition and this header file is included in traffic_generator.c

The error trace is as below:

I tried sshing into the vm and install a few dependencies that were missing as per http://archive.openflow.org/wk/images/3/3e/Manual.pdf. I tried to configure and make in the vm manually and it fails with the same message. Is this a linker problem? Am I missing something here. Thanks in advance :)

[dfarrell07]

Sounds like it's missing a C-related dependency, gcc* or similar. I'm taking a quick look now.

Didn't come up with a good answer, but I did replicate what you're seeing.

@dfarrell07 Tried many different things, and tried a different box too. Do you think its missing the netfpga-packet-generator-c-library when it clones the oflops repository?

[dfarrell07]

@smallen3 - Wanted to send a quick ACK.

Do you think its missing the netfpga-packet-generator-c-library when it clones the oflops repository?

What makes you say this? I haven't had the cycles to debug in more detail yet.

Any solution ? I am stuck with same error. I did not have this issue with Ubuntu 14. I updated to ubuntu 15 today and it throws me error.

traffic_generator.c:140: undefined reference to `time_diff'

[smalleni]

@dfarrell07 ..apologies for the delayed response. https://github.com/andi-bigswitch/oflops is the repo that wcbench.sh clones and that repo has a "netfpga-packet-generator-c-library" directory that links to another repository but is not cloned. So, was just a wild guess. I don't know if that is essential to wcbench.

Just came up to the same error while building Cbench on a Fedora 23 machine:

traffic_generator.o: In function get_next_pkt': /home/vagrant/oflops/traffic_generator.c:140: undefined reference totime_diff'

My workaround was to bypass the complete config process of oflops, after noticing that a Makefile within the cbench folder was already created. I simply ran make within cbench and the binary was built. oflops contains many other things on which Cbench does not seem to depend on.
