Macswap plugin build instructions
These instructions will setup the plugin source in /vpp/devboot/macswap. This location is chosen only for example; there is no direct correlation between the plugin source tree and the VPP source tree.
There are instructions for both Emacs users and for non-Emacs users.
Emacs
There are a set of templates that Emacs users can make use of to build skeleton plugins, including the macswap plugin.
C-x C-f, /vpp/build-root/emacs-list/all-skel.el M-x eval-buffer M-x shell; mkdir /vpp/devboot M-x make-plugin macswap C-x s
Non-Emacs
People who do not use Emacs can use a pre-generated copy of the macswap plugin by entering these commands at a shell prompt:
cd ~ git clone https://github.com/alagalah/macswap-plugin cd macswap-plugin mkdir /vpp/devboot tar -zxvf macswap-plugin.tar.gz -C /vpp/devboot
Building the plugin
At a shell prompt:
cd /vpp/devboot/macswap-plugin autoreconf -i -f mkdir build cd build ../configure --with-plugin-toolkit make sudo make install ls /usr/lib/vpp_plugins/
NB: This builds against the libraries/headers installed in the system; not those in the local build environment. Both release and debug builds of VPP will search in /usr/lib/vpp_plugins for plugins to load when they start.
