   1 Building your own FRRouting RPM
   2 ======================================
   3 (Tested on CentOS 6, CentOS 7 and Fedora 24.)
   4
   5 1. On CentOS 6 (which doesn't provide a bison/automake/autoconf of a recent enough version):
   6     - Check out ../doc/Building_FRR_on_CentOS6.md for details on installing
   7     a bison/automake/autoconf to support frr building.
   8
   9     Newer automake/autoconf/bison is only needed to build the rpm and is
  10     **not** needed to install the binary rpm package
  11
  12 2. Install the build packages as documented in doc/Building_on_xxxxx.md
  13    and the following additional packages:
  14
  15         yum install rpm-build net-snmp-devel pam-devel
  16
  17     Additionally, on systems with systemd (CentOS 7, Fedora)
  18
  19         yum install systemd-devel
  20
  21     (use `dnf install` on new Fedora instead of `yum install`)
  22
  23 3. Checkout FRR under a **unpriviledged** user account
  24
  25         git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
  26
  27 4. Run Bootstrap and make distribution tar.gz
  28
  29         cd frr
  30         ./bootstrap.sh
  31         ./configure --with-pkg-extra-version=-MyRPMVersion
  32         make dist
  33
  34     Note: configure parameters are not important for the RPM building - except the `with-pkg-extra-version` if you want to give the RPM a specific name to
  35     mark your own unoffical build
  36
  37 5. Create RPM directory structure and populate with sources
  38
  39         mkdir rpmbuild
  40         mkdir rpmbuild/SOURCES
  41         mkdir rpmbuild/SPECS
  42         cp redhat/*.spec rpmbuild/SPECS/
  43         cp frr*.tar.gz rpmbuild/SOURCES/
  44
  45 6. Edit rpm/SPECS/frr.spec with configuration as needed
  46     Look at the beginning of the file and adjust the following parameters to enable or disable features as required:
  47
  48         ############### FRRouting (FRR) configure options #################
  49         # with-feature options
  50         %{!?with_pam:           %global  with_pam           0 }
  51         %{!?with_ospfclient:    %global  with_ospfclient    1 }
  52         %{!?with_ospfapi:       %global  with_ospfapi       1 }
  53         %{!?with_irdp:          %global  with_irdp          1 }
  54         %{!?with_rtadv:         %global  with_rtadv         1 }
  55         %{!?with_ldpd:          %global  with_ldpd          1 }
  56         %{!?with_nhrpd:         %global  with_nhrpd         1 }
  57         %{!?with_eigrp:         %global  with_eigrpd        1 }
  58         %{!?with_shared:        %global  with_shared        1 }
  59         %{!?with_multipath:     %global  with_multipath     256 }
  60         %{!?frr_user:           %global  frr_user           frr }
  61         %{!?vty_group:          %global  vty_group          frrvty }
  62         %{!?with_fpm:           %global  with_fpm           0 }
  63         %{!?with_watchfrr:      %global  with_watchfrr      1 }
  64         %{!?with_bgp_vnc:       %global  with_bgp_vnc       0 }
  65         %{!?with_pimd:          %global  with_pimd          1 }
  66
  67 7. Build the RPM
  68
  69         rpmbuild --define "_topdir `pwd`/rpmbuild" -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/frr.spec
  70
  71 DONE.
  72
  73 If all works correctly, then you should end up with the RPMs under
  74 `rpmbuild/RPMS` and the Source RPM under `rpmbuild/SRPMS`
  75
  76
  77 Enabling daemons after installation of the package:
  78 ---------------------------------------------------
  79
  80 ### init.d based systems (ie CentOS 6):
  81
  82 1. Edit /etc/frr/daemons and enable required routing daemons (Zebra is probably needed for most deployments, so make sure to enable it.)
  83
  84 2. Enable the daemons as needed to run after boot (Zebra is mandatory)
  85
  86         chkconfig frr on
  87
  88 3. Check your firewall / IPtables to make sure the routing protocols are
  89 allowed.
  90
  91 5. Start the FRR daemons (or reboot)
  92
  93         service frr start
  94
  95 Configuration is stored in `/etc/frr/*.conf` files and daemon selection is stored in `/etc/frr/daemons`.
  96
  97
  98 ### systemd based systems (ie CentOS 7, Fedora 24)
  99
 100 1. Edit /etc/frr/daemons and enable required routing daemons (Zebra is probably needed for most deployments, so make sure to enable it.)
 101
 102 2. Enable the frr daemons to run after boot.
 103
 104         systemctl enable frr
 105
 106 2. Check your firewall / IPtables to make sure the routing protocols are
 107 allowed.
 108
 109 3. Start the daemons (or reboot)
 110
 111         systemctl start frr
 112
 113 Configuration is stored in `/etc/frr/*.conf` files and daemon selection is stored in `/etc/frr/daemons`.
