Summer of Code is over!!
Hi all, As those of you involved in the Google Summer of Code know, today is the last day of coding for the project. However, I still have a lot to do on my implementation of MPLS, and will continue to work on this until it is working. I would like to say thank you to all of those who have helped me over the course of the program in trying to get this project up and running. With that in mind I have submitted the semi-finished code for trying to get sending and receiving of packets working. Unfortunately I have come up against a bit of a brick wall in terms of trying to figure out the exact inner workings of FreeBSD. At the moment, in theory at least, the sending and receiving of packets should work, however I am stuck as to how to integrate my code properly with the kernel. So far I have created a mpls_init which contains a netisr_register function, as well as inserted the appropriate code into the ether_demux function, but it still does not appear to be running the code when an MPLS packet is received. If anyone would like to look at the code and give me any feedback on how to improve it, or any ideas on how to get it working, it would be greatly appreciated, and I understand it is a very big ask of anyone to look through it, so I will thank you in advance for your time. Thank you for being such a great community and helping me get through this summer of code. No doubt you will be hearing from me on the mailing lists as I continue to try and get this project working, and possibly even move onto other projects. -Ryan French ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Building custom kernel with new files
Hi All, I am currently trying to build a custom kernel for my Google Summer of Code, and am running into a bit of a problem. I have all of my code compiling, but when I get to the linking stage as soon as it comes to the new files I have installed it says the *.o does not exist. I have added the files to /conf/files, and well as added the files to /conf/options and /conf/NOTES, and the option is set in my Makefile for the kernel. Is there another step I need to do before I can build the kernel? Thanks for any help.

I build the file using make buildkernel KERNCONF=MPLSKERNEL while in the /usr/src/ directory. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This can happen, for example, if the consumer of a subsystem wants to use it and the subsystem is not compiled (the stack(9) without STACK option, for example). Thanks, Attilio The missing .o is about my own files that I have included in the kernel. More specifically I have a file 'mpls.h' and as it is the first one in the directory as soon as it gets to linking the file I get the error ld: mpls.o: No such file: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 This occurs right after the command MAKE=make sh /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh MPLSKERNEL Sorry I cant copy the whole error but I am running the development in a VM and I cant copy and paste between the VM and my host machine. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Introducing me!!
Hi All, My name is Ryan French. I am a Google Summer of Code participant this year, and for my project I will be implementing MPLS in FreeBSD. I am in my 5th year of university at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, and this year I am working on obtaining my PostGraduate Diploma in Computer Science (equivalent to the first year of a masters degree). I'm really looking forward to working on this project, as it is also part of my coursework for this year. I'm still in the process of getting through all the introduction stuff to the GSoC, but once that has been done I'm going to continue working on this project and hopefully come up with something that I can be real proud of over the next few months. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
