[Amol Lad]

Hi Donald,

There is Yocto recipe for Quagga. Can quagga's Yocto recipe be used as a reference to add recipe for FRR?

Thanks
Amol

Amol -

From my perspective it's just a matter of someone doing the work and either capturing their build artifacts or writing down their steps.
FRR is complicated to build, it has a myriad of options and setup procedures that are not necessarily easy.  I clearly remember struggling with this at first.

Work done to get FRR working on other platforms is clearly welcomed.
I'm not sure how I can personally help out here other than I'll try to answer questions or point you at the people whom I think can answer your questions.

Supporting FRRouting in Yocto will open a whole new domain for its use in embedded systems. From web, I can see many have struggled to add FRR in Yocto and no clarity if there was any success or not.
