   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 following packages to build the RPMs:
  13
  14         yum install git autoconf automake libtool make gawk readline-devel \
  15         texinfo net-snmp-devel groff pkgconfig rpm-build json-c-devel pam-devel texi2html bison
  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     **CentOS 6:** Please check doc/Building_FRR_on_CentOS6.md for details on
  24     how to install required version of autoconf, automake and bison. The
  25     versions in the common Repo are too old.
  26
  27 3. Checkout FRR under a **unpriviledged** user account
  28
  29         git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
  30
  31 4. Run Bootstrap and make distribution tar.gz
  32
  33         cd frr
  34         ./bootstrap.sh
  35         ./configure --with-pkg-extra-version=-MyRPMVersion
  36         make dist
  37
  38     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
  39     mark your own unoffical build
  40
  41 5. Create RPM directory structure and populate with sources
  42
  43         mkdir rpmbuild
  44         mkdir rpmbuild/SOURCES
  45         mkdir rpmbuild/SPECS
  46         cp redhat/*.spec rpmbuild/SPECS/
  47         cp frr*.tar.gz rpmbuild/SOURCES/
  48
  49 6. Edit rpm/SPECS/frr.spec with configuration as needed
  50     Look at the beginning of the file and adjust the following parameters to enable or disable features as required:
  51
  52         ############### FRRouting (FRR) configure options #################
  53         # with-feature options
  54         %{!?with_tcp_zebra:     %global  with_tcp_zebra     0 }
  55         %{!?with_pam:           %global  with_pam           0 }
  56         %{!?with_ospfclient:    %global  with_ospfclient    1 }
  57         %{!?with_ospfapi:       %global  with_ospfapi       1 }
  58         %{!?with_irdp:          %global  with_irdp          1 }
  59         %{!?with_rtadv:         %global  with_rtadv         1 }
  60         %{!?with_ldpd:          %global  with_ldpd          1 }
  61         %{!?with_shared:        %global  with_shared        1 }
  62         %{!?with_multipath:     %global  with_multipath     256 }
  63         %{!?frr_user:           %global  frr_user           frr }
  64         %{!?vty_group:          %global  vty_group          frrvty }
  65         %{!?with_fpm:           %global  with_fpm           0 }
  66         %{!?with_watchfrr:      %global  with_watchfrr      1 }
  67         %{!?with_bgp_vnc:       %global  with_bgp_vnc       0 }
  68         %{!?with_pimd:          %global  with_pimd          1 }
  69
  70 7. Build the RPM
  71
  72         rpmbuild --define "_topdir `pwd`/rpmbuild" -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/frr.spec
  73
  74 DONE.
  75
  76 If all works correctly, then you should end up with the RPMs under
  77 `rpmbuild/RPMS` and the Source RPM under `rpmbuild/SRPMS`
  78
  79
  80 Enabling daemons after installation of the package:
  81 ---------------------------------------------------
  82
  83 ### init.d based systems (ie CentOS 6):
  84
  85 1. Edit /etc/frr/daemons and enable required routing daemons (Zebra is probably needed for most deployments, so make sure to enable it.)
  86
  87 2. Enable the daemons as needed to run after boot (Zebra is mandatory)
  88
  89         chkconfig frr on
  90
  91 3. Check your firewall / IPtables to make sure the routing protocols are
  92 allowed.
  93
  94 5. Start the FRR daemons (or reboot)
  95
  96         service frr start
  97
  98 Configuration is stored in `/etc/frr/*.conf` files and daemon selection is stored in `/etc/frr/daemons`.
  99
 100
 101 ### systemd based systems (ie CentOS 7, Fedora 24)
 102
 103 1. Edit /etc/frr/daemons and enable required routing daemons (Zebra is probably needed for most deployments, so make sure to enable it.)
 104
 105 2. Enable the frr daemons to run after boot.
 106
 107         systemctl enable frr
 108
 109 2. Check your firewall / IPtables to make sure the routing protocols are
 110 allowed.
 111
 112 3. Start the daemons (or reboot)
 113
 114         systemctl start frr
 115
 116 Configuration is stored in `/etc/frr/*.conf` files and daemon selection is stored in `/etc/frr/daemons`.
