similar to: Creating Spec file for RPM

I'm trying to build a package to create a directory and install some files. My rpmbuild keeps failing, unable to cd into the directory, "no such". Now, in the tmpfile, I *see* it cd'ing into BUILD/opt, and the source was unzipped and untared into BUILD/opt/smipmicfg-1.27.0. In the spec file, I've even added a cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/opt, and I see it cd to there... and then it

i'm a newbie at building rpms. I made a few rpms years ago, but can't now make one on Centos 5. In /usr/local/rpmbuild, there are 5 subdirs: BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS tmp When I type: rpmbuild -ba /usr/local/rpmbuild/SPECS/centos-release-cr-ihc.spec I get 'file not found' errors, for paths in /usr/local/rpmbuild/tmp: error: File not found:

Hi People, I have just started building my own RPMS on both Fedora and CentOS and generally things have gone well. Currently I am trying to create RPMS for some commercial software that we have purchased. Step 1 was install the software using its JAVA Based installer ensuring that all files were installed into a particular directory in /usr/local. Step 2 was create a tar file of the

I have a couple of questions regarding openssh.spec and the rpm that gets generated from it. I am using 2.3.0p1 1. Why is openssl a prereq? openssh statically links to openssl during build by default (rightfully so, you don't want your security library a shared object if possible) 2. I don't understand the following line in the spec file during the install step (it makes it not build for

Hi I am try to write rpm spec for install tomcat on a linux machine.But while build the rpm i found following error + /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh --strict-build-id /home/rpmbuild/BUILD/Install_tomcat-1.0 extracting debug info from /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/Install_tomcat-1.0-1.el6.x86_64/usr/local/jdk1.7.0_13/lib/visualvm/profiler/lib/deployed/jdk16/linux-amd64/libprofilerinterface.so ***

Hello, I'd like to get in to rpm building and am looking for a CentOS specific document if any to get me going? I want to repackage an existing rpm and give it different runtime options so it'll work on a server, and make an rpm at least one probably more, and then submit them to the rpmforge repo. Googling showed me some old Suse docs on this subject. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, For software development, projects are built through makefile. After building, I can run binary program. rpm is more convenient. Is there some tool that can build rpm? Thanks! Regards Andrew

Hey all, I'm attempting to build a spec file of php 5.6.7 - the latest stable - into an rpm. And it's failing with this set of errors: Processing files: php-5.6.7-1.el7.x86_64 warning: File listed twice: /etc/rc.d/init.d/php-fpm error: Symlink points to BuildRoot: /usr/bin/phar -> /home/bluethundr/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/php-5.6.7-1.el7.x86_64/usr/bin/phar.phar warning: File listed twice:

I have the latest kernel with the drivers for my 3ware 9550SX built in. Where can I find the tools and monitoring apps for this card? Are there rpms hiding somewhere, or do I need to build it from source? -- Bowie

I am trying to build an RPM for Apache-2.4.7-1 on Centos-6.5-i86_64. I am using mock. The are three build dependencies that I am trying to resolve. One, mod_socache_dc / distcache, I have simply removed from the spec file. The other two are arp and apr-utils. Since httpd-2.4.7 needs arp >= 1.4 I got the two latter requirements from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.4.7-deps.tar.bz2

The packaging/lsb/rsync.spec file is broken as shipped: It has a "Sept" month (rpmbuild here takes only 3-letter month names), and RH gzips the manpages, so the %files list can't find them. I also added doc/README-SGML and doc/rsync.sgml to the %doc files. Patch follows. Thanks for all the good work! --- rsync-2.5.6/packaging/lsb/rsync.spec.orig 2003-01-28 06:28:35.000000000 +0100

I am trying to build an rpm package for iaxmodem-1.2.0. At the moment I am still trying to get a working spec file put together. I have managed to get an SRPM produced but the binary build from this fails due to there being no install task in the Makefile.in provided with the source. I have found a spec file from opensuse that provides this in the install portion: %build [

Hi all, I'm planning to use Bacula in production environment. I've seen the Bacula packages are not provided neither by any official repo nor any third popular repo (as rpmforge). ?Anyone use bacula in CentOS 5? -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

Hi Thomas, Thanks for the hint. I'm trying to rebuild the original SRPM without the patch for know, but I'm getting the following error. rpmbuild --rebuild /tmp/clutter-1.14.4-12.el7.src.rpm ... checking for XIAllowTouchEvents... yes checking for XIScrollClassInfo.number... yes checking for XkbQueryExtension... yes checking for GDK_PIXBUF... no configure: error: Package requirements
