downloading:

• git clone --recursive thisGit

setting up:

• cd into the cloned dir
• cd external/seastar
• sudo ./install-dependencies.sh
• install doxygen (required by seastar, even tho documentation doesnt need to be built)
• cd dpdk
• git apply ../../../*.patch (fixes the dpdk build process if your path contains spaces)
• cd ..
• ./configure.py --mode=release --enable-dpdk --c++-standard 23 --compiler g++ --c-compiler gcc (cmake breaks trying to compile seastar)
• ninja -C build/release (build seastar)

you can now open the project in cmake, use the following cmake arguments: -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="g++" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="gcc" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$CMakeProjectDir$/external/seastar/build/release;$CMakeProjectDir$/external/seastar/build/release/_cooking/installed" -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH="$CMakeProjectDir$/external/seastar/cmake" -GNinja

or, to generate externally:

• mkdir build
• cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="g++" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="gcc" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$(pwd)/external/seastar/build/release;$(pwd)/external/seastar/build/release/_cooking/installed" -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH="$(pwd)/external/seastar/cmake" -GNinja -B build
• build contains cmake files

build externally:

• cd build
• ninja
