= Manual build
link:release_notes.html[< Home]
== Prerequisites
Building Hc2vpp project requires:
* Java 8
* Maven (version 3.2.5 and above should be fine)
* Properly set maven settings(displayed below) to access nexus.fd.io
== Obtain the hc2vpp source code
TIP: Make sure you have https://wiki.fd.io/view/DEV/Setting_up_Gerrit[registered your ssh key with gerrit].
[subs="+attributes"]
git clone ssh://[username]@gerrit.fd.io:29418/hc2vpp
cd hc2vpp
git checkout {project-branch}
== Building the code
Make sure all the prerequisites are installed.
NOTE: To make sure fresh hc2vpp build is compatible with VPP, it is required
to make sure the same JVpp version is used preventing out-of-sync exceptions.
Compatible JVPP artifacts can be obtained by installing vpp-api-java package or building VPP.
In case only hc2vpp needs to be built, skip Building VPP section.
=== Building VPP
Clone VPP according to: https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/admin/projects/vpp and checkout {project-branch} branch
Dive into VPP's build-root folder:
cd vpp/build-root/
Build VPP:
make distclean && ./bootstrap.sh && make V=0 PLATFORM=vpp TAG=vpp install-deb
Install VPP:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Start VPP:
sudo start vpp
Now current Vpp is up and running and prepared for integration with HC.

==== Installing JVpp jars
By default hc2vpp build downloads latest JVpp jars from nexus.fd.io.
They might not be compatible with installed VPP (e.g. in case of non-backward compatible VPP API changes).
In order to prevent API mismatch it is required to use JVpp version corresponding to the VPP installed.
Use
[subs="+attributes"]
./hc2vpp/jvpp/install_from_vpp_build_dir.sh
to install JVpp jars produced during VPP build.
If vpp-api-java package is installed, use:
[subs="+attributes"]
./hc2vpp/jvpp/install_from_package.sh
Now hc2vpp can be built and it will use compatible JVpp artifacts.
==== Building hc2vpp
cd hc2vpp/
mvn clean install
[NOTE]
=====
To perform quick build(no tests, no checks, no docs) run:
mvn clean install -DskipTests -Dcheckstyle.skip -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Djacoco.skip
=====
Now hc2vpp can be run with:
[subs="+attributes"]
sudo sh vpp-integration/minimal-distribution/target/vpp-integration-distribution-{project-version}-hc/vpp-integration-distribution-{project-version}/honeycomb
=== Building packages
After the code has been built, you can build an RPM or DEB package for hc2vpp.
==== RPM
Export build number variable, e.g.:
export BUILD_NUMBER=33
Run package building script from:
packaging/rpm/rpmbuild.sh
==== DEB
Export build number variable, e.g.:
export BUILD_NUMBER=33
Run package building script from:
packaging/deb/xenial/debuild.sh
or
packaging/deb/trusty/debuild.sh
