When just running vat from within the source tree, it needs to know the path for the plugins, for debug builds I usually have the following small shell script which takes care of this without requiring me thinking every time (of course needs to be launched from the vpp top directory since it has relative paths:
$ cat ~/bin/run-vat #!/bin/sh sudo ./build-root/install-vpp_debug-native/vpp/bin/vpp_api_test plugin_path ./build-root/install-vpp_debug-native/vpp/lib64/vpp_api_test_plugins/ $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 Not sure about the error with build-vat, I will let other folks comment on it if someone knows... —a > On 13 Nov 2017, at 03:14, Yuliang Li <yuliang...@yale.edu> wrote: > > Thanks for the quick reply. > > I still fail to use the vat to configure ACL.
