Instructions to build VyOS 1.2 from sources with frr
OpenPublic

Asked by shamidrasool on Dec 12 2017, 10:27 AM.

Details

I want to build the latest VyOS version using vyos-frr instead of quagga as even following the instructions from the wiki on Debian Jessie.

However, the latest build still has quagga and I do not get frr daemon as given in the blog post:
http://blog.vyos.net/a-vyos-1-dot-2-0-alpha-image-with-frr-instead-of-quagga-is-available-for-testing-and-weve-found-a-gpl-violation-in-vyos

Kindly provide instructions/changes to the build process to enable frr while building VyOS image from sources, config file etc. The advantage of this build is that isisd can be enabled and can be used through vtysh in the iso provided in the blog post.

That procedure is a bit involved at the moment since the mainline 1.2.0 uses quagga, and there are quite a few dependencies on quagga, so I had to edit them all. I suppose I'll create FRR migration branches in all affected submodules to at least push those changes to somewhere.

Thanks Daniil.

I tried to build it by adding vyos-frr submodule. However I got conflicts with vyatta-quagga_0.99.20.1-14+vyos2+current1_amd64.deb package.

Here are the error logs:

Selecting previously unselected package vyatta-quagga.

And at the end:

The iso partially built is unusable as it is a symbolic link:
vyos-999.201801121149-amd64.iso -> /home/user/New/vyos-build/build/live-image-amd64.hybrid.iso

Can you suggest steps to resolve?
