AppImage packaging
Disabled by default. To kick the the tires:
wget https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy/releases/download/continuous/linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage
sudo mv linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage /usr/local/bin/linuxdeploy
sudo chmod +x linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage
Enable VPP_BUILD_APPIMAGE e.g. in ccmake
make build | make build-release
The vpp AppImage lands in .../install-xxx-native/VPP-x86_64.AppImage. To run it:
./VPP-x86_64.AppImage vpp unix interactive
To run it (as root) and inhale the usual startup.conf:
sudo ./VPP-x86_64.AppImage \${HERE}/bin/vpp -c \${HERE}/etc/vpp/startup.conf
To run vppctl, or any of the usual vpp binaries:
./VPP-x86_64.AppImage vppctl [etc]
