Building RPM from source tarball
================================================================
It is possible to build directly from a source tarball if it contains
a valid spec file.
Before you can run rpmbuild, you need to setup a directory tree and a
.rpmmacros file.
Setup directory tree
----------------------------------------------------------------
You may already have one in /usr/src/RPM, but as rebuilding packages
as root is evil, we recommend that you create one in a place where
your normal user account allows you to write, such as your home
directory. This build tree should have the following structure:
rpm
|-- BUILD
|-- RPMS
|-- SOURCES
|-- SPECS
|-- SRPMS
`-- tmp
The following command should build what you need:
mkdir -p ${HOME}/rpm/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS,tmp}
Setup rpmbuild configuration file
----------------------------------------------------------------
Now you need to do some rpm configuration. A simple ~/.rpmmacros with
the following contents should be enough:
cat > ~/.rpmmacros <<EOF
%_topdir %(echo ${HOME}/rpm)
%_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp
%packager Firstname Lastname <your.address@here>
# Have built RPMs land in RPMS/ instead of RPMS/<arch>/
%_rpmfilename %%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm
EOF
Make sure to replace the %packager fields with your actual name and email address.
Important Details
----------------------------------------------------------------
There are some important details:
* The tarball name must have the ACE version in the name, for example:
ACE+TAO-src-6.3.3.tar.gz
* The spec file inside the tarball
(ACE_wrappers/rpmbuild/ace-tao.spec) must have the correct version
numbers for ACE and TAO at the top:
%define ACEVER 6.3.3
%define TAOVER 2.3.3
* The following files in the source distribution must have the correct
version numbers:
ACE_wrappers/ace/Version.h
ACE_wrappers/TAO/tao/Version.h
Building the RPM
----------------------------------------------------------------
You can kick off the rpmbuild anywhere; the tarball will be unpacked
and built in your rpmbuild directory described in the previous
section.
rpmbuild -tb your-tarball.tar.gz
Some packages take quite a while to build.
Harvesting the Binary RPM
----------------------------------------------------------------
When the build completes, the binary rpms are deposited in rpm/RPMS.
ls -lart ${HOME}/rpm/RPMS
Please let me know if there are questions/problems.
