Hi Himanshu,
When I created a plugin, I started by running extras/emacs/make-plugin.sh.
That script automatically set things up so the plugin could be built and
installed with the other VPP plugins. Then I started adding actual code to
the stubbed-out files which the script created. I tested that script again
just now and the stub plugin that is created by that script seems to have
been built successfully and it was included in the vpp-plugins RPM that was
built when I ran 'make pkg-rpm'. I did the following while in a directory
containing a VPP repo which was freshly cloned from gerrit:
sudo dnf install emacs
cd src/plugins
../../extras/emacs/make-plugin.sh
I was asked for a name of the plugin and whether it was dual loop, I typed
'foobar' for the name and chose dual loop. The script ran for a second and
there were files under src/plugins/foobar when it completed.
git add foobar
git commit
cd ../..
make pkg-rpm
After waiting a while for the build to complete:
$ rpm -qlp build-root/vpp-plugins-21.01-rc0~84_gf79b34036.x86_64.rpm | grep
foobar
/usr/lib/vpp_api_test_plugins/foobar_test_plugin.so
/usr/lib/vpp_plugins/foobar_plugin.so
/usr/share/vpp/api/foobar.api.json
It should be noted that this didn't work on my first attempt because I did
not commit the files under src/plugins/foobar. The pkg-rpm target builds
a tar archive of source files using 'git archive'. If you had files for the
plugin which are on your local filesystem and the files have not been
committed in the local repo, they won't be built.
Even if you don't feel like using that script, you shouldn't need to do
anything special. The RPM spec file at extras/rpm/vpp.spec has this:
%files plugins
%defattr(-,bin,bin)
/usr/lib/vpp_plugins/*
/usr/lib/vpp_api_test_plugins/*
/usr/share/vpp/api/*
If your plugin files are being installed under /usr/lib/vpp_plugins,
/usr/lib/vpp_api_test_plugins, and /usr/share/vpp/api, the above ought to
cause it to be included in vpp-plugins automatically. In src/plugins/, is there a CMakeLists.txt with an add_vpp_plugin() in it?
