Prerequisites

  1. stable rust toolchains: rustup toolchain install stable
  2. nightly rust toolchains: rustup toolchain install nightly --component rust-src
  3. (if cross-compiling) rustup target: rustup target add ${ARCH}-unknown-linux-musl
  4. (if cross-compiling) LLVM: (e.g.) brew install llvm (on macOS)
  5. (if cross-compiling) C toolchain: (e.g.) brew install filosottile/musl-cross/musl-cross (on macOS)
  6. bpf-linker: cargo install bpf-linker (--no-default-features on macOS)

Build & Run

Use cargo build, cargo check, etc. as normal. Run your program with xtask run.

Cargo build scripts are used to automatically build the eBPF correctly and include it in the program. When not using xtask run, eBPF code generation is skipped for a faster developer experience; this compromise necessitates the use of xtask to actually build the eBPF.

Cross-compiling on macOS

Cross compilation should work on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

AYA_BUILD_EBPF=true \
CC=${ARCH}-linux-musl-gcc \
RUSTFLAGS="-C linker=${ARCH}-linux-musl-gcc" \
  cargo build --package {{project-name}} --release --target=${ARCH}-unknown-linux-musl

The cross-compiled program target/${ARCH}-unknown-linux-musl/release/{{project-name}} can be copied to a Linux server or VM and run there.
