I'm going to share with you the problems we encountered when installing this crate ;)

llvm-11

First thing you need is llvm, grab it with this command

https://apt.llvm.org/

bash -c "$(wget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh)

lvm-config --version should work

Install Dependencies

Preparation for the cargo installation.

llvm 11:

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential zlib1g-dev \
		llvm-11-dev libclang-11-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r)

llvm 12 headers :

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential zlib1g-dev \
		llvm-12-dev libclang-12-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) \
		libelf-dev

Install Rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs/ | sh

Don't forget to copy the environment PATH

Cargo-bpf

And now the ultimate battle

cargo install cargo-bpf

if llvm error for 13 with last thing 

rustup default 1.55 work with llvm 12

You might have some errors.

Error Time

LLVM Error

We will provide a comprehensive overview of all the LLVM errors we encountered.

LLVM_SYS_110_PREFIX

is set correctly if your install is not being detected automatically. LLVM_SYS_110_PREFIX should be pointing to your LLVM 11 install.

For example on Fedora it would be LLMV_SYS_110_PREFIX=/usr,

LLVM_SYS_70_PREFIX

Steps to reproduce

1. remove preinstalled llvm: sudo apt remove llvm -y, and install llvm-11: sudo apt install llvm-11 llvm-11-dev
2. or the sh script should debug the 70 and 110

LLVM_SYS_90_ENV

we didn't found anything but it exist

when you build you can have problems with the 6 and it will not build so please be carefull in the process!

Compilation Error

libbpf/src

https://github.com/redsift/redbpf/issues/86

try to run the examples code if you have problems to compile it check the sub modules

git submodule sync
git submodule update --init

Using the crate

Normal Build

cargo bpf build block_http

Tc Hook Build

You need cargo make if you want to explore the tc hook:

//INSTALL
cargo install --force cargo-make

//BUILD
cargo make bpf

Running it

Buckle up, it's time to take your build for a spin!

But before you can hit the gas, there's one crucial step you need to take - launching Cargo in sudo/root mode. This is the only way to ensure your project takes off without a hitch. So, strap yourself in, fire up your terminal, and get ready to unleash the full power of your freshly compiled masterpiece!

sudo -i

And install the dependencies for root user.

This project undoubtedly holds great promise, but to truly unlock its full potential and make it accessible to everyone, additional development will be crucial. We will monitor that and experiment more on the eBPF solution for rust.
