CentOS - Jun 2006 - Fedora source packages on Centos -- libtiff again

In my seeking a managable way to build libtiff, on the Asterfax forum 
I got the following recommendation (from another fax user that made 
the move to libtiff 3.8.2):

===============================================================
Hi Robert,

I have compiled libtiff-3.8.2 from the source package for my Fedora 
Core 4 machine.
I am not sure about CentOS, but I think you can try to do the same 
with rpmbuild and the source package for Fedora:

- Install the rpmbuild tools in CentOS;
- Download the source package for Fedora: 
<http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/atrpms/src/fc6-i386/redhat/SRPMS.updates/libtiff-3.8.2-2.src.rpm>http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/atrpms/src/fc6-i386/redhat/SRPMS.updates/libtiff-3.8.2-2.src.rpm

- Install the source package as a non-root user:
rpm -ivh libtiff-3.8.2-2.src.rpm
- Go to your rpmbuild folder: cd ~/rpmbuild
- Rebuild the package: rpmbuild -ba SPECS/libtiff.spec

If everything goes well, you will find a brand new set of RPM 
packages in the ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/ (replace i386 for your actual 
architecture if you're not building on i386), which you can install 
with the upgrade RPM command: rpm -Uvh libtiff-3.8.2*.rpm

===============================================================
  Does this 'look right' for Centos?  If not what do I change?

And how do I get the rpmbuild tools?   yum install rpmbuild  ??

Finally, once I have built 3.8.2, how would I migrate it to other systems?

Not totally ... I will example with a non-root user called "builder" 

as root:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

useradd builder

passwd builder

(give builder a password)

su - builder

as builder:

Edit a file called .rpmmacros as builder from builder's home directory
and add the line:

%_topdir /home/builder/rpmbuild

then do:

mkdir ~/rpmbuild

Then start from above with:  Download the source package for Fedora

(you would do everything else ... however you might need to install
several xxxxx-devel packages on your system to meet the build or install
requirements and get a good build or install.

I have built this just now on CentOS-4 and it seems to build and
install.  You are welcome to use it:

http://centos.hughesjr.com/testing/libtiff-3.8.2-2/

I don't plan to maintain these on updates, unless you ask me to rebuild
them.

You should be able to install them on any machines as the root user
(from a directory containing the the RPMS):

yum localinstall libtiff-3.8.2-2.i386.rpm

or

yum localinstall libtiff-3.8.2-2.i386.rpm libtiff-devel-3.8.2-2.i386.rpm

(if you need the devel package)

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Johnny,

First thank you for all of your patience with me.

I am going with the rpms you built (already downloaded them) on my 
new trixbox build, but I am going to, again, try the build myself on 
my 'old' AAH 2.8 system.  I tried it yesterday and did a lot wrong, I 
see.  You show me what I need to do to run the build as non-root.  I 
ended up going forward as root, as I could not figure out the 
directory permissions.  Also I need the g++ compiler it seemed.

Anyway, I need to do this at least once and this guildline should 
help me do it right finally.  Then I can put it into my freemind 
linux 'database'.  (and I would like to see a newer, enhanced ver of 
freemind soon too!).

Actually this did not seem to work either but the following did:

yum localinstall libtiff-devel-3.8.2-2.i386.rpm libtiff-3.8.2-2.i386.rpm

Interesting that order is important....

Now I get:

What do I need this time?
