This is a doc bug. Where exactly is the broken documentation?
https://fdio-vpp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gettingstarted/developers/buildsystem/cmakeandninja.html?highlight=g2 is up to date. See below. g2 has at least one worthwhile new feature in master/latest - automated anomaly detection - and the master/latest version will cheerfully work with event-logs from an 18.10 vpp image. So, I'd be tempted to pull master/latest and build it. HTH... Dave ________________________________ Here’s how we build the g2 event data visualization tool: option(VPP_BUILD_G2 "Build g2 tool." OFF) if(VPP_BUILD_G2) find_package(GTK2 COMPONENTS gtk) if(GTK2_FOUND) include_directories(${GTK2_INCLUDE_DIRS}) add_vpp_executable(g2 SOURCES clib.c cpel.c events.c main.c menu1.c pointsel.c props.c g2version.c view1.c LINK_LIBRARIES vppinfra Threads::Threads m ${GTK2_LIBRARIES} NO_INSTALL ) endif() endif() The g2 component is optional, and is not built by default. There are a couple of ways to tell cmake to include it in build.ninja [or in Makefile.] When invoking cmake manually [rarely done and not very easy], specify -DVPP_BUILD_G2=ON: $ cmake ... -DVPP_BUILD_G2=ON Take a good look at …/build-data/packages/vpp.mk to see where and how the top-level Makefile and …/build-root/Makefile set all of the cmake arguments. One strategy to enable an optional component is fairly obvious. Add -DVPP_BUILD_G2=ON to vpp_cmake_args. That would work, of course, but it’s not a particularly elegant solution. The easy way to set VPP_BUILD_G2 - or frankly any cmake parameter - is to install the “cmake-curses-gui” package and use it. Do a straightforward vpp build using the top level Makefile, “make build” or “make build-release” Adjourn to …/build-root/build-vpp-native/vpp or …/build-root/build-vpp_debug-native/vpp Invoke “ccmake .” to reconfigure the project as desired. In this case, set VPP_BUILD_G2 to ON. -----Original Message----- From: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> On Behalf Of Raj Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2019 8:49 AM To: vpp-dev <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> Subject: [vpp-dev] recipe for target 'g2-find-source' failed Hello all, According to docs I can compile g2 using make g2-install.
