libslirp

libslirp is a user-mode networking library used by virtual machines, containers or various tools.

Getting Started

A C compiler, make/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.

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.
