why cannot we put this in the sonic-sairedis repo? we can buiild this library into syncd |
|
We want to build a separate debian package which can be used by gbsyncd docker. We want to dynamically load the library. |
|
let's build this client library into the syncd progress, then if we start with gbsyncd, we can decide how to use it. |
|
Build mdio IPC client library as a debian package and as a .so file has the flexibility. Build the code into syncd process is equivalent to add the debian package as build time dependence and run time dependence of syncd package and add LD flag of -lmdio-ipc-client in the syncd makefile. |
