sonic-swss builds:
The SWitch State Service (SWSS) is a collection of software that provides a database interface for communication with and state representation of network applications and network switch hardware.
Install the following dependencies:
sudo apt install redis-server
sudo apt install libhiredis0.14
sudo apt install libzmq5 libzmq3-dev
sudo apt install libboost-serialization1.74.0
sudo apt install libboost1.71-dev
sudo apt install libasan6
Note: If your are using Ubuntu 18.04, install libhiredis0.13 instead.
Visit the official sonic-buildimage Azure pipeline for the VS platform and choose the branch that matches the sonic-swss branch you are trying to build or install. Then select the latest successful build.
From the Summary tab, access build artifacts.
Download the folder sonic-buildimage.vs/target/debs/{your host machine's Debian code name}. You can check the Debian code name of your machine by running cat /etc/debian_version.
Extract the downloaded zip file using unzip sonic-buildimage.vs.zip. Then navigate to sonic-buildimage.vs/target/debs/{Debian code name}/ and install the following Debian packages:
sudo dpkg -i libdashapi_1.0.0_amd64.deb libnl-3-200_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libnl-3-dev_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libnl-cli-3-200_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libnl-cli-3-dev_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libnl-genl-3-200_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libnl-genl-3-dev_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libnl-nf-3-200_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libnl-nf-3-dev_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libnl-route-3-200_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libnl-route-3-dev_3.5.0-1_amd64.deb libprotobuf32_3.21.12-3_amd64.deb libsaimetadata_1.0.0_amd64.deb libsaimetadata-dev_1.0.0_amd64.deb libsairedis_1.0.0_amd64.deb libsairedis-dev_1.0.0_amd64.deb libsaivs_1.0.0_amd64.deb libsaivs-dev_1.0.0_amd64.deb libswsscommon_1.0.0_amd64.deb libswsscommon-dev_1.0.0_amd64.deb libteam5_1.31-1_amd64.deb libteamdctl0_1.31-1_amd64.deb libyang_1.0.73_amd64.deb libyang-dev_1.0.73_amd64.deb python3-swsscommon_1.0.0_amd64.deb
Note: You can also build these packages yourself (for the VS platform).
Now, you can either directly install the SONiC SWSS package or you can build it from source and then install it. To install the SONiC SWSS package that is already in sonic-buildimage.vs/target/debs/{Debian code name}/, simply run the following command:
sudo dpkg -i swss_1.0.0_amd64.deb
Install build dependencies:
sudo apt install libtool
sudo apt install autoconf automake
sudo apt install dh-exec
sudo apt install nlohmann-json3-dev
sudo apt install libgmock-dev
Clone the sonic-swss repository on your host machine: git clone https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-swss.git.
Make sure that SAI header files exist in /usr/include/sai. Since you have already installed libsairedis-dev, libsaimetadata-dev, and libsaivs-dev, this should already be the case. If you have compiled libsairedis yourself, make sure that the SAI header files are copied to /usr/include/sai.
You can compile and install from source using:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make && sudo make install
Note: This will NOT run the mock tests located under tests/mock_tests.
You can also build a debian package using:
./autogen.sh
fakeroot debian/rules binary
Unfortunately, libboost-serialization1.74.0 is not officially supported on Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) even though it is supported on Debian 11 (bullseye). Therefore, you must build this package from source. You can use a script similar to this one, but you only need to create a package for the Boost serialization library. You should also make sure that the generated package is named libboost-serialization1.74.0. After the package is created, you can install it by running sudo dpkg -i libboost-serialization1.74.0_1.74.0_amd64.deb.
If you cannot install libzmq3-dev because of dependency issues, please check the version of libkrb5 packages installed on your host machine:
sudo dpkg -l | grep "libkrb5"
If the version is not 1.17-6ubuntu4.7, then you need to install the correct version:
sudo apt install libkrb5support0=1.17-6ubuntu4.7
sudo apt install libzmq3-dev
Warning: This may remove many packages that are already installed on your system. Please take note of what is being removed.
Note: Do NOT install *krb5* packages that are located in the sonic-buildimage.vs folder that you downloaded. These packages have a higher version and will cause dependency issues.
If you run into dependency issues during the installation of a package, you can run sudo apt -f install to fix the issue. But note that if apt is unable to fix the dependency problem, it will attempt to remove the broken package(s).
If you get a C++ exception with the description "Too many open files" during the mock tests, you should check the maximum number of open files that are permitted on your system:
ulimit -a | grep "open files"
You can increase it by executing this command: ulimit -n 8192. Feel free to change 8192. This value worked fine for me.
Note: This change is only valid for the current terminal session. If you want a persistent change, append ulimit -n 8192 to ~/.bashrc.

See the contributors guide for information about how to contribute.
We're following basic GitHub Flow. If you have no idea what we're talking about, check out GitHub's official guide. Note that merge is only performed by the repository maintainer.
Guide for performing commits:
- Isolate each commit to one component/bugfix/issue/feature
- Use a standard commit message format:
[component/folder touched]: Description intent of your changes [List of changes] Signed-off-by: Your Name your@email.com
For example:
swss-common: Stabilize the ConsumerTable * Fixing autoreconf * Fixing unit-tests by adding checkers and initialize the DB before start * Adding the ability to select from multiple channels * Health-Monitor - The idea of the patch is that if something went wrong with the notification channel, we will have the option to know about it (Query the LLEN table length). Signed-off-by: user@dev.null
