This is to describe how to compile and create installable RPM packages for openSUSE leap. In general you should visit [Pulling, Building, Running, Hacking, Pushing](https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Pulling,_Building,_Run ning,_Hacking_and_Pushing_VPP_Code) which provides full description for other type of system (Ubuntu,Centos or Redhat).
To get the VPP sources that are used to create the build, run the following commands:
# git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/vpp # cd vpp
There are two ways to continue:
Run the following docker command:
docker build -f extras/rpm/opensuse/Dockerfile .
The packages now can be copied from the docker image and can be installed on openSUSE. An example how to extend the Dockerfile to install vpp:
'''dockerfile FROM opensuse/leap:${SUSE_VERSION} as vppinstall COPY --from=vppbuild /vpp/build-root/rpm /rpms/ RUN VPP_INSTALL_SKIP_SYSCTL=false zypper install --allow-unsigned-rpm -y --no-recommends /rpms/.rpm;
... '''
Before building a VPP image, make sure there are no FD.io VPP or DPDK packages installed, by entering the following commands:
# rpm -ql vpp package vpp is not installed # rpm -ql dpdk package dpdk is not installed
Run the following make command to install the dependencies for FD.io VPP.
make install-dep
Run the following make command to install the external dependencies for FD.io VPP.
ln -s /usr/bin/cmake /usr/bin/cmake3 # some thirdparty checking for cmake3 binary make install-ext-dep
Create packages for openSUSE by running:
make pkg-rpm
Once the packages are built they can be found in the build-root directory.
# ls *.rpm
If the packages are built correctly, then this should be the corresponding output:
build-root/libvpp0-21.10-rc0~200_gb89ae9670.x86_64.rpm build-root/vpp-api-python-21.10-rc0~200_gb89ae9670.x86_64.rpm build-root/vpp-21.10-rc0~200_gb89ae9670.x86_64.rpm build-root/vpp-devel-21.10-rc0~200_gb89ae9670.x86_64.rpm build-root/vpp-api-lua-21.10-rc0~200_gb89ae9670.x86_64.rpm build-root/vpp-plugins-21.10-rc0~200_gb89ae9670.x86_64.rpm
