= Manual build link:release_notes.html[< Home] == Prerequisites Building Honeycomb 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 honeycomb 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/honeycomb cd honeycomb git checkout {project-branch} == Building the code Make sure all the prerequisites are installed. NOTE: To make sure fresh Honeycomb build is compatible with VPP, building VPP is also required to make sure the same JVpp version is used preventing out-of-sync exceptions. In case only Honeycomb 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 Install JVpp into local maven repository to make Honeycomb pick up the same JVpp version [subs="+attributes"] cd build-vpp-native/vpp-api/java/ mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jvpp-registry-{project-vpp-version}.jar -DgroupId=io.fd.vpp -DartifactId=jvpp-registry -Dversion={project-vpp-snapshot-version} -Dpackaging=jar mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jvpp-core-{project-vpp-version}.jar -DgroupId=io.fd.vpp -DartifactId=jvpp-core -Dversion={project-vpp-snapshot-version}-Dpackaging=jar cd ../../plugins/snat-plugin/ mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jvpp-snat-{project-snat-version}.jar -DgroupId=io.fd.vpp -DartifactId=jvpp-snat -Dversion={project-snat-snapshot-version} -Dpackaging=jar Now current Vpp is up and running and prepared for integration with HC. === Building Honeycomb Now Honeycomb can be built and it will use latest JVpp produced during VPP build. ==== Setup settings.xml Put the following in your ~/.m2/settings.xml: [source,xml] ---- fd.io-release fd.io-mirror fd.io-mirror https://nexus.fd.io/content/groups/public/ true never false fd.io-mirror fd.io-mirror https://nexus.fd.io/content/repositories/public/ true never false fd.io-snapshots fd.io-snapshot fd.io-snapshot https://nexus.fd.io/content/repositories/fd.io.snapshot/ false true fd.io-snapshot fd.io-snapshot https://nexus.fd.io/content/repositories/fd.io.snapshot/ false true opendaylight-snapshots opendaylight-snapshot opendaylight-snapshot https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/opendaylight.snapshot/ false true opendaylight-shapshot opendaylight-snapshot https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/opendaylight.snapshot/ false true fd.io-release fd.io-snapshots opendaylight-snapshots ---- ==== Building Honeycomb cd honeycomb/ mvn clean install Now Honeycomb 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 honeycomb. ==== RPM Export build number variable: export BUILD_NUMBER=33 Run package building script from: packaging/rpm/rpmbuild.sh ==== DEB Export build number variable: export BUILD_NUMBER=33 Run package building script from: packaging/deb/debuild.sh
