1 | How to Install Open vSwitch on Fedora Linux |
| 2 | =========================================== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | This document describes how to build and install Open vSwitch on a Fedora | |
| 5 | Linux host. If you want to install Open vSwitch on a generic Linux host, | |
| 6 | see INSTALL.Linux instead. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | We have tested these instructions with Fedora 16 and Fedora 17. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | Building Open vSwitch for Fedora | |
| 11 | -------------------------------- | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | You may build from an Open vSwitch distribution tarball or from an | |
| 14 | Open vSwitch Git tree. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | Before you begin, note the RPM source directory on your version of | |
| de34f9f4 | 17 | Fedora. On Fedora 17, it is $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES. |

| 19 | 1. If you are building from an Open vSwitch Git tree, then you will | |
| 20 | need to first create a distribution tarball by running "./boot.sh; | |
| 21 | ./configure; make dist" in the Git tree. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | 2. Copy the distribution tarball into the RPM source directory. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | 3. Unpack the distribution tarball into a temporary directory and "cd" | |
| 26 | into the root of the distribution tarball. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | 4. To build Open vSwitch userspace, run: | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | rpmbuild -bb rhel/openvswitch-fedora.spec | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | This produces one RPM: "openvswitch". | |
| 33 | ||
| de34f9f4 | 34 | 5. On Fedora 17, to build the Open vSwitch kernel module, run: |
| d8fe0a6a RS |
35 | |
| 36 | rpmbuild -bb rhel/openvswitch-kmod-fedora.spec | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | You might have to specify a kernel version and/or variants, e.g.: | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | rpmbuild -bb \ | |
| 41 | -D "kversion 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64" \ | |
| 42 | -D "kflavors default debug kdump" \ | |
| 43 | rhel/openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | This produces an "kmod-openvswitch" RPM for each kernel variant, | |
| 46 | in this example: "kmod-openvswitch", "kmod-openvswitch-debug", and | |
| 47 | "kmod-openvswitch-kdump". | |
