For the BF3 sku 900-9D3B6-00CV-AA0 and BF2, how to compile frrouting

I am trying to get frrouting routing working on bf2/3. I am getting quite a bit of compilation error with the latest version frr with “–enable-dp-dpdk=yes” turned on. If there is a particular version of frrouting that I should sync to instead of latest, please let me know.

Do you have some sample build environment/step for frrouting for BF2 or BF3.

This is the configure argument I am using, setting it as root user.

./configure
–prefix=/home/ubuntu/frr
–includedir=${prefix}/include
–bindir=${prefix}/bin
–sbindir=${prefix}/lib/frr
–libdir=${prefix}/lib/frr
–libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/frr
–localstatedir=/var/run/frr
–sysconfdir=/etc/frr
–with-moduledir=${prefix}/lib/frr/modules
–enable-configfile-mask=0640
–enable-logfile-mask=0640
–enable-snmp=agentx
–enable-multipath=64
–enable-user=root
–enable-group=root
–enable-dp-dpdk=yes
–enable-vty-group=root
–with-pkg-git-version
–with-pkg-extra-version=2

Thanks for the response, the archived build from that thread no longer builds with the latest doca version on the bf2 or bf3. Syncing to the latest frrouting with “–enable-dp-dpdk=yes” flag does not build. Trying to see if there is a known particular build of frrouting that I should sync to that would work with the latest doca.
