G'day, I hope you are doing well Very exciting to see the Ultra Ethernet protocols being added! However, I suspect unintended "challenges" were introduced since the flake.nix was added. Upon review, I found that actually xdp2 was no longer working on ubuntu without nix. This pull request: - Adds a getting started guide ( note - sample compiles challenges persist ) - Adds an experimental ./src/configure.sh designed as an alternative to the existing ./src/configure ./src/configure creates a config.mk that works on Ubuntu ( no nix ) using llvm or llvm20. ( The getting started guide explains that Ubuntu package naming makes supporting different llvm versions tricky. configure.sh hopefully handles this correctly now. ) - ./src/configure.sh has extensive --debug_level 7 logging - ./src/configure.sh modifies the test cpp code to support llvm 18 and 20 - Updates various Makefiles to allow the make variables to be passed, so -j$(nproc) works - Enforces dependencies, so the builds work with -j$(nproc) This has been tested with ubuntu24.0.4.3 ( no nix ) using llvm and llvm20, but I strongly encourage more testing Happy to discuss I'm going to keep working on the flake.nix, because it's broken, and this pull request marks the files as such https://github.com/xdp2-dev/xdp2/pull/11 -- Regards, Dave Seddon +1 415 857 5102
