Hello. I am looking to get the parameters that the Caldera RPM was made with. I have noticed that it is not being updated and would like to get the current ver. on my system, but need to have the same links to various files. Can anyone help me to find the parameters? I would be interested in making the RPMs but need to know how to make them first, maybe some direction to info on making RPMs. Thank you. Karl Banasky
If you can find an old SOURCE RPM, install it and examine the spec file. It should be installed in a subdirectory of /usr/src, along with the tarball, patches, and additional source files. The exact location varies by distro. Usually it's called samba.spec. In the %build section, it will run ./configure with all of the parameters you need.> -----Original Message----- > From: Karl Banasky [mailto:kbanasky@heatcon.com] > Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 3:15 PM > To: samba@lists.samba.org > Subject: [Samba] Compiling Samba For OPENLinux 3.1.1 > > > Hello.

Untar the samba-2.2.8.tar.gz file 2. cd samba-2.2.8/packagin/Caldera/OpenLinux 3. sh makerpms.sh Wait until building finishes ... 4. cd /usr/src/OpenLinux/RPMS/i386 ls -al You should have all your binary RPMS ready to roll. I have not been able to validate this since I left Caldera I no longer run OpenLinux 3.1.1. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht@samba.org
That seems to be great. Thanks for the tip John. When i run the "makerpms.sh" I get this error: checking whether or not getgroups returns EGID too many times... yes checking whether struct passwd has pw_comment... no checking whether struct passwd has pw_age... no checking for poptGetContext in -lpopt... no checking whether to use included popt... ./popt checking configure summary... configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.11664 (%build) [root@heatconlinux OpenLinux]# Any ideas on what the error is and how to fix it?

You need to make sure that the *devel* packages are installed on your OLS 3.1.1 system. In particular you need to check that libpam-devel and readline are installed (from memory). - John T.> Thanks > Karl > > > > > On Fri, 21 Mar 2003, Karl Banasky wrote: > > > >> Hello.
