SONIC_ALPINE build fails with platform unavailable error

[debobrotodasrobin]

Hello all,
I am trying to build the Sonic Alpine vs image by following the instructions provided in the README file.
After the step with the following command

`PLATFORM=alpinevs make configure
`

The build process fails with the following errors:

slave.mk:287: platform/alpinevs/rules.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'platform/alpinevs/rules.mk'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [Makefile.work:621: configure] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/deba/sonic-buildimage'
make: *** [Makefile:125: configure] Error 2

Can someone help me here?

Hi @debobrotodasrobin , Thanks for trying this. Some of the sonic-buildimage pieces are still not merged for building alpinevs image. There are 2 final PRs we are currently working on for the builds. We can post on this thread once that is done.

@debobrotodasrobin - The merge is complete. Can you please pull sonic-buildimage and build Alpine now

Please let us know here in 'Issues' when you have questions, face problems or need any help.

@sreeiyer-1 Thanks for the update.

The following step

make target/sonic-alpinevs.img.gz

Fails with the following error:

@debobrotodasrobin Can you please try building after doing this :

cd src/sonic-p4rt
git submodule update --remote sonic-pins

This step is missing from Readme. Let us see if this solves it.

[sreeiyer-1]

Or another option is not to enable p4rt at all. Don't do the

"echo "INCLUDE_P4RT = y" >> rules/config.user"

P4rt that is uploaded in GitHub is a work in progress. So it may not be useful at this point.
