VPP building problem in the LSDK 20.12

[d-z-c]

Hi All,

I just compiled a VPP app according to LSDKUG_Rev20.12.pdf,page:1212-1213.

as follow,but but there are some errors occur when building process,So that it cannot

be compiled.How to solve it ?And I found that the DPDK compiling twice when executing

vpp compiling.

By the way, I have tried to compile high version(Branch origin/github.qoriq-os/20.11-qoriq)

DPDK using meson, and it does work well,but there are no place to add such “EXTRA_CFLAGS='-g

 -Ofast -fPIC -ftls-model=local-dynamic'” command line when using Makefile method. so that

there are no dpdk vpp-plugin generated,How to build the plugin out？

Best wishes.

============Test Environment==========

PC: Ubuntu18.04

Board: LS1043ARDB

Software: LSDK 20.12 (using flexbuild_lsdk2012.tgz)(20.04 exists the similar problem)

============Documents steps==========

1. Setup flexbuild environment
       <Fetch Flexbuild as per steps in LSDK Documentation>
       cd flexbuild_<version>
       source setup.env
   2. Enable VPP in Flexbuild
       By default VPP is not enabled for compilation/packaging in Flexbuild. This can be enabled by setting     the following in the
       build configuration file ( build_lsdk.cfg
       CONFIG_APP_VPP=y
   3. Compile VPP
       flex-builder -c vpp
       After this step, the debian package files deb would be available in the       build/apps/components_LS_arm64/usr/local/vpp/ . Then, using the merge-components this would be available in rootfs in /usr/local/vpp

Please refer to the attached document to compile VPP v2005 in LSDK20.12 build environment.

Hi YiPing,

  I just build according your document. But there are some errors occured ，

such like "dpkg: error processing package vpp-plugin-dpdk (--install):",etc.

More details are in the Compling_log_1.txt.

And Debian Images did generated in the ./build/rfs/rootfs_lsdk2012_ubuntu_main_arm64/usr/local/vpp/

But,When I try to install and execute vpp suit，It cant work！Errors occured in

unpacking process and executing vpp app. more details are in the installing_and_running_log_1.txt.

Best wishes,

Jack.

Please refer to the following update from the Linux SDK development team.

From logs It appears, you are trying to install VPP v20.05 over pre-installed VPP  v19.06 on same rootfs. This is not expected situation.

You should flash a fresh rootfile system where VPP v19.06 debains are not installed. Then only install VPP v20.05

Also, we are very close to make VPP v21.01 functional and can provide a functional code drop with in 1 week or so. It will be good if you can migrate to this  latest version.
