How to build behavioral-model on the MacOS(Apple M1 Pro(13.5))

[aabhinavg]

I am trying to build the behavioural model on the MacOS I have tried the following things
git clone https://github.com/p4lang/behavioral-model.git

`#!/bin/bash
set -e

Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to help pkg-config find libffi

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig"

Install necessary packages using Homebrew

brew install
automake
cmake
gmp
libpcap
boost
libevent
libtool
flex
bison
pkg-config
openssl
libffi
python@3
wget
git

Clone Thrift repository

git clone https://github.com/apache/thrift.git

Navigate into the Thrift directory

cd thrift

Configure Thrift

./bootstrap.sh
./configure.sh

Build and install Thrift

make
sudo make install

Navigate back to the original directory
cd ..

Create a temporary directory

tmpdir=$(mktemp -d -t tmp.XXXXXXXXXX)

Navigate to the temporary directory

cd "$tmpdir"

Navigate back to the original directory

cd ..

Remove the temporary directory

rm -rf "$tmpdir"

echo "Conversion completed."

echo "Initializing the autogen"

####Run the autogen

./autogen.sh

Run the configuration

./configure`

I am trying the above script to build the thrift and getting the following message as

Clone Thrift repository

git clone https://github.com/apache/thrift.git

Navigate into the Thrift directory

cd thrift

Configure Thrift

./bootstrap.sh
./configure.sh

getting error as

I have never built the open source P4 development tools on macOS before, so I will not be of much help to you there.

However, if you are interested in running an arm64 Ubuntu Linux VM on your macOS system, using the free UTM virtualization software, I have done that before and gotten it working, not just for behavioral-model code, but also for the P4 compiler, P4Runtime software, the tutorials repository, mininet, and a few other things.

You can find instructions for creating an Ubuntu Linux arm64 VM on an Apple Silicon Mac using UTM here: https://github.com/jafingerhut/jafingerhut.github.com/blob/master/notes/macos-utm-notes.md

If you succeed in that, inside that VM you can use my install-p4dev-v7.sh install script described here to download, compile, and install behavioral-model, p4c, and several other things: https://github.com/jafingerhut/p4-guide/blob/master/bin/README-install-troubleshooting.md#quick-instructions-for-successful-install-script-run
