VPP-SSWAN plugin build error

Open BenAgai opened this issue 8 months ago • 3 comments

Hi, I'm working on a project when I want to utilize VPP for IPSec traffic. During my investigation, I came across Intel article about using VPP-SSWAN plugin which is exactly what I need: https://builders.intel.com/docs/networkbuilders/fd-io-vpp-sswan-and-linux-cp-integrate-strongswan-with-world-s-first-open-sourced-1-89-tb-ipsec-solution-technology-guide-1686047475.pdf

At first tried to follow the article but found out that some of the instructions were obsolete. With that being said, I accessed the VPP-SSWAN plugin in VPP repo: https://github.com/FDio/vpp/blob/v25.02/extras/strongswan/vpp_sswan/README.rst

In order to build VPP-SSWAN plugin I had to first build VPP, which I succeeded via the below guide: https://s3-docs.fd.io/vpp/23.02/developer/build-run-debug/building.html#get-the-vpp-sources

I then returned to the VPP-SSWAN plugin to build it. When I use the instruction "make all" according to the guide, it always fails with the below error: cc1: fatal error: settings/settings_lexer.c: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

I attached the output of my build process in case it will be of use.

Would appreciate any assistance, thanks!
