After disabling the have_spec check, I can compile and run it. After setting the suid bit on drivers/nic/spec/linux/nic_drv to allow it to access /dev/net/tun, I get the following output:
Just a remark to prevent setting suid: I setup my tap0 device so that in can be used by my user ID like follows in /etc/rc.local on Ubuntu.
# # Setup tap device for base-linux tests # dev=tap0 user=<YOUR USER ID>
ip tuntap add dev $dev mode tap user $user ip address flush dev $dev ip address add 10.0.2.1/24 brd 10.0.2.255 dev $dev ip link set dev $dev addr 02:00:00:ca:fe:01 ip link set dev $dev up
But now to your question...
Though I can see the tap device,
15: tap0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether c2:60:31:f8:52:fc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I don't see any listening socket on port 8888.
So clearly there is some missing plumbing. What do I need to do to fill that in?
If you mean you can't see any listening program on port 8888 on your host machine that's expected. Genode is running in a virtual network behind the tap0 device. Additionally, the log states that the tcp_terminal uses DHCP for network configuration but you may not run a DHCP server on tap0. Now you have two option: Configure a DHCP server to serve a private network behind tap, e.g., 10.0.2.1/24, or (much simpler) configure tcp_terminal statically. Therefore you apply the following changes to the run script (assuming the example network above).
<start name="tcp_terminal"> - <libc stdout="/dev/log"> + <libc ip_addr="10.0.2.55" netmask="255.255.255.0" gateway="10.0.2.1" + stdout="/dev/log" stderr="/dev/log"/>
The terminal should then be accessible at 10.0.2.55:8888.
