Getting started

Build Seastar

git clone https://github.com/scylladb/seastar.git
cd seastar
git submodule update --init --recursive

# --enable-dpdk to build w/ dpdk 
#
./configure 
ninja

Build smf

git clone https://github.com/senior7515/smf
cd smf
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DSEASTAR_DIR=/path/to/seastar ..
make 

# to run test do 
ctest -V

Maintainers have a few handy scripts:

SEASTAR_DIR=/path/to/seastar ./release

# or

SEASTAR_DIR=/path/to/seastar ./debug

That's about it!
