P4-16 Compiler

First you need to follow the installation guide of P4-16 When you have P4-16 compiler, then add this project as an extension. Assuming you have P4-16 at your dir ~/p4c/, to setup p4c-zodiacfx:

cd ~/p4c/
mkdir extensions
cd extensions
git clone https://github.com/pzanna/p4c-zodiacfx.git
ln -s ~/p4c p4c-zodiacfx/p4c

Now that you have cloned p4c-zodiacfx at ~/p4c/extensions/p4c-zodiacfx, the next step is to recompile p4c:

cd ~/p4c/
mkdir -p build
cd build/
cmake ..
make

This generates a p4c-zodiacfx binary in ~/p4c/build. Next create a soft link to the binary:

cd ~/p4c/extensions/p4c-zodiacfx
ln -s ~/p4c/build/p4c-zodiacfx p4c-zodiacfx

Current Status

This is the first version of this extension and very much a work in progress to don't expect too much at the start with, more functionality will be added over time. On that note, any assistance would be extremely welcome.
