How to Install Open vSwitch on NetBSD ===================================== On NetBSD, you might want to install requirements from pkgsrc. In that case, you need at least the following packages. * automake * libtool-base * gmake * python27 * py27-six * py27-xml * pkg_alternatives Some components have additional requirements. (See [INSTALL.md]) Assuming you are running NetBSD/amd64 6.1.2, you can download and install pre-built binary packages as the following. (You might get some warnings about minor version mismatch. Don't care.) ``` # PKG_PATH=http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.1.2/All/ # export PKG_PATH # pkg_add automake libtool-base gmake python27 py27-six py27-xml pkg_alternatives ``` NetBSD's `/usr/bin/make` is not GNU make. GNU make is installed as `/usr/pkg/bin/gmake` by the above mentioned `gmake` package. As all executables installed with pkgsrc are placed in `/usr/pkg/bin/` directory, it might be a good idea to add it to your PATH. Open vSwitch on NetBSD is currently "userspace switch" implementation in the sense described in [INSTALL.userspace.md] and [PORTING.md].
