With Ubuntu you do not need to build from source, so no need to pull from git and build, you can just use apt-get to install everything. If you have a need to get newer code then updating from source might be correct, but from what you've said so far I think stock Ubuntu should be fine. I think you should be able to simply 'apt-get install fcoe-utils' and you'll get all the fcoe user space code. Debian's package manager should deal with the dependencies (lldpad, libhbaapi, libhbalinux). However, if you simply want to generate FIP VN2VN traffic I don't think you even need those tools. You should just be able to do the 'modprobe' and 'echo' commands that I showed in my previous reply. Your compilation error is because you haven't setup/installed libHBAAPI and its headers. Follow the QUICKSTART guide in fcoe-utils/ and you'll see if you want to build from source, you first have to build lldpad, then libHBAAPI, then libhbalinux and finally fcoe-utils. Hope this helps, //Rob _______________________________________________ fcoe-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-fcoe.org/mailman/listinfo/fcoe-devel
