Hi folks, I was just wondering how I could build my own plugin without rebuilding everything from scratch in vpp ? I mean, here are two ways I found to build a plugin: - First technique (long, rebuilds everything): https://docs.fd.io/vpp/17.07/sample_plugin_doc.html - Second technique (fast, only builds what needs to be, "sample-plugin" specific): https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Tutorial_DPDK_and_MacSwap#Compilation
What's the difference between the two ? Is one of the two obsolete, not appropriate in that case ? I just don't get it, as it looks like there are two different notions of plugins. I don't like the first one because it rebuilds everything and it takes ages. I'd like to use the second one, if possible. For that, I've added a file called "myown-plugin.mk" in "build-data/packages" with equivalent (but modified for that specific case) content as "sample-plugin.mk". Anyway, it doesn't work when running "make V=0 PLATFORM=vpp TAG=vpp myown-plugin-install", as I receive everytime an error. It says that it can't find "myown-plugin" source in "/vpp". Which is weird because I've exactly the same "myown" files (everywhere) as "sample-plugin". What am I missing here ? Thanks !
