Introduction

Once the repository has been cloned, there are several ways to "build" this draft.

Git Tag

The Makefile in the repository uses git tag to determine the version of the draft to build. To check all the tags associated with the repository, type:

git tag

and look for the latest version of the tag.

If the repository does not have all the latest tags uploaded, one can create a local tag by using the following command

git tag draft-ietf-netmod-syslog-model-<version>

where the version field is the current published version of the draft. For example, if the current published version is -12, then the tag created should be:

git tag draft-ietf-netmod-syslog-model-12

This tag will cause draft-ietf-netmod-syslog-model-13 to be built.

Native Build

To build the draft on the machine where the repository exits, one has to have all the tools neccesary. These include building other tools (from source) used by this model, i.e. yanglint and yanger. Details on how to build them can be found in the link to the tools. Be prepared that those tools in turn will require their own set of tools to build, e.g. cmake.

The tools needed to compile YANG include

• yanger
• yanglint

Other than the tools do compile the YANG models, one will need

• python3 and python3-pip
• curl
• rsync
• idnits
• awk (or gawk installed as awk)
• gsed (or sed installed as gsed)

In addition pip should be used to install

• pyang
• xml2rfc
• xym

Once all the tools are installed the following commands will build the draft

% cd draft

% make clean

% make

Build using Docker

In one does not want to be bothered with all the tools necessary to build the draft, one can use Docker. Make sure Docker is installed and in the root of the repository type

% make

or

% make container

Output of Docker build

Since Docker mounts the host file system while building this draft, it will deposit the output of the build on the host file system.
