I used the steps to build from https://github.com/opencomputeproject/SAI/tree/master/flexsai/p4/README.md.

The p4c used is from today. I see the following error on invoking 'make -j3' in p4c/build/

/home/hemant/bak/p4c/extensions/sai/json_stage/sai.cpp: In function ‘int main_wrapper(int, char* const*)’:

The problem is that if one has python2.7 and also python 3.6m installed on their build machine, the flexsai cmake loses its brain. I had to force specific python3 path in flexsai/p4/backend/CMakeLists.txt and then compiling and linking passed. I also made one change to sai.cpp to fix compiling. Diffs are included as attached file.

It also makes sense to remove all Python code from sai.cpp and just use C/C++ code. p4c code has long back changed to parsing options using p4c/frontend/common/options.cpp. Time permitting, I can make the code change. If anyone has cycles, please make the code change.

Maybe, more cleanup is needed.
Why does flexsai/p4 need this step before the build?
