libslirp is a user-mode networking library used by virtual machines, containers or various tools.
A C compiler, meson and glib2 development libraries.
(see also .gitlab-ci.yml DEPS variable for the list of dependencies on Fedora)
You may build and install the shared library with meson:
meson build ninja -C build install
And configure QEMU with --enable-slirp=system to link against it.
(QEMU may build with the submodule static library using --enable-slirp=git)
Unfortunately, there are no automated tests available.
You may run QEMU -net user linked with your development version.
Feel free to open issues on the project issues page.
You may clone the gitlab project and create a merge request.
Contributing with gitlab allows gitlab workflow, tracking issues, running CI etc.
Alternatively, you may send patches to slirp@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list.
To make slirp emit debugging prints, one can use for instance:
export G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Slirp export SLIRP_DEBUG=call
SLIRP_DEBUG can contain a colons/spaces/commas-separated list of call, misc, error, tftp, verbose_call
We intend to use libtool's versioning for the shared libraries and use SemVer for project versions.
For the versions available, see the tags on this repository.
