Hi!

Sorry if I am not posting the right list, however, I need to compile the installable package fo Debian 7, I have a legacy Debian 7 farm and I would like to test the Frr and who knows my routing problems stop, thank you for the attention.

You are on the right list. I’m not testing debian 7 and never tried building it on Debian 7. The main challenges would be some outdated packages or packages not available. Before you try to build the package for Debian 7, try to build FRR on it’s own. I suggest to try based on stable/3.0 branch (not the development master). Try following the building based on the instructions in doc/Building_FRR_on_Debian8.md (Only until the ‘make’ - no need to install and no need to add group/users). This should give you enough information on dependencies and if the required packages to build FRR actually exist on debian 7 Alternatively - if this is too painful, then look at the doc/Building_FRR_on_Ubungu1204.md which is another OLD Debian. Once the compile succeeds, then you can try building the package. For package on Debian 7, I would suggest to use stable/3.0 (not master branch) from git and try building based on the instructions in the debianpkg/README.deb_build.md file. I expect you need to add a backport for debian7 (under debianpkg/backports), but expect this should be not too difficult (Just look at the other backports as examples - specifically the ubuntu1204 which is of similar age and debian8 ) Let me know if there are specific issues trying to get it build and I’ll try to help out. I don’t expect this to be too painful… Regards, Martin
