build
=====

To build vpp openembedded layer you can follow Github Actions script: .github/workflows/build.yml

  ./meta-vpp <- this repo
  git clone -b scarthgap --depth 1 https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
  git clone -b scarthgap --depth 1 https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git
  git clone -b scarthgap --depth 1 git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-dpdk

  cd poky
  . oe-init-build-env build
  bitbake-layers add-layer meta-openembedded/meta-oe
  bitbake-layers add-layer meta-openembedded/meta-python
  bitbake-layers add-layer meta-openembedded/meta-networking
  bitbake-layers add-layer meta-dpdk
  bitbake-layers add-layer meta-vpp

  bitbake vpp

Note: if for some reason you need to disable DPDK for vpp, then configure this in conf/local.conf with
      extra line: PACKAGECONFIG:remove = "dpdk"
