.. _building: .. toctree:: Building VPP ============ To get started developing with VPP you need to get the sources and build the packages. .. _setupproxies: Set up Proxies -------------------------- Depending on the environment, proxies may need to be set. You may run these commands: .. code-block:: console $ export http_proxy=http://.com: $ export https_proxy=https://.com: Get the VPP Sources ----------------------------------- To get the VPP sources and get ready to build execute the following: .. code-block:: console $ git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/vpp $ cd vpp Build VPP Dependencies -------------------------------------- Before building, make sure there are no FD.io VPP or DPDK packages installed by entering the following commands: .. code-block:: console $ dpkg -l | grep vpp $ dpkg -l | grep DPDK There should be no output, or packages showing after each of the above commands. Run these commands to install the dependencies for FD.io VPP. If it hangs during downloading at any point, you may need to set up :ref:`proxies for this to work `. .. code-block:: console $ make install-dep Hit:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease Get:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease [109 kB] Get:3 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease [107 kB] Get:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports InRelease [107 kB] Get:5 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages [803 kB] Get:6 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main i386 Packages [732 kB] ... ...

Build VPP (Debug) ---------------------------- This build version contains debug symbols which is useful to modify VPP. The command below will build debug version of VPP. The binaries when building the debug images can be found in /build-root/vpp_debug-native. .. code-block:: console $ make build make[1]: Entering directory '/home/vagrant/vpp-master/build-root' @@@@ Arch for platform 'vpp' is native @@@@ @@@@ Finding source for dpdk @@@@ @@@@ Makefile fragment found in /home/vagrant/vpp-master/build-data/packages/dpdk.mk @@@@ @@@@ Source found in /home/vagrant/vpp-master/dpdk @@@@ @@@@ Arch for platform 'vpp' is native @@@@ @@@@ Finding source for vpp @@@@ @@@@ Makefile fragment found in /home/vagrant/vpp-master/build-data/packages/vpp.mk @@@@ @@@@ Source found in /home/vagrant/vpp-master/src @@@@ ... ... make[5]: Leaving directory '/home/vagrant/vpp-master/build-root/build-vpp_debug-native/vpp/vpp-api/java' make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/vagrant/vpp-master/build-root/build-vpp_debug-native/vpp/vpp-api/java' make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/vagrant/vpp-master/build-root/build-vpp_debug-native/vpp' make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/vagrant/vpp-master/build-root/build-vpp_debug-native/vpp' @@@@ Installing vpp: nothing to do @@@@ make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/vagrant/vpp-master/build-root' Build VPP (Release Version) ----------------------------------------- To build the release version of FD.io VPP. This build is optimized and will not create debug symbols. The binaries when building the release images can be found in /build-root/vpp-native. .. code-block:: console $ make build-release Building Necessary Packages -------------------------------------------- To build the debian packages, one of the following commands below depending on the system: Building Debian Packages ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: console $ make pkg-deb Building RPM Packages ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: console $ make pkg-rpm Once the packages are builty they can be found in the build-root directory. .. code-block:: console $ ls *.deb If packages built correctly, this should be the Output vpp_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb vpp-dbg_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb vpp-api-java_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb vpp-dev_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb vpp-api-lua_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb vpp-lib_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb vpp-api-python_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb vpp-plugins_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb Finally, the packages can be installed with the following: For Ubuntu: .. code-block:: console $ sudo bash # dpkg -i *.deb For Centos or Redhat: .. code-block:: console $ sudo bash # rpm -ivh *.rpm
