anyone making rpm's from source (.src and .tar.gz/bz2)

Look for a binary package you want and on it's page should be a link to src package.

So, just how do I extract the spec file from a .src package?

kdelibs4-4.3.85-6mdv2010.1.src.rpm

For the want of repackaging, not installing (only)

I'm reading rpm --help, rpmbuild --help next.

KDE4 uses the CMake (http://www.cmake.org) buildsystem instead of configure.
CMake uses different options than configure, but some have direct equivalents:
   <srcdir>           : the source directory
   --prefix=<dir>     : -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=<dir>
   --bindir=<dir>     : -DBIN_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=<dir>
   --includedir=<dir> : -DINCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=<dir>
   --libdir=<dir>     : -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=<dir>
Once CMake has run successfully, you can use "make edit_cache" to view and modify all settings.
For more information visit "http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/CMake#Run_CMake"

Your current configure options translate more or less to:
   cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH='/usr' -DBIN_INSTALL_DIR:PATH='/usr/bin' -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR:PATH='/usr/lib64' -DINCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR:PATH='/usr/include' . ; make ; make install

+ make -j2
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Yes, I still have quite a bit of understanding to absorb, and am beginning to appreciate the work of compilers.

The spec file is difficult to setup just by tagging lists to the file.

I am working off the example that has been offered by kbp, seems to be close to Mandriva.

I'm not sure how to interpret the error message.

Regards Glenn

kbp · 12-27-2009, 10:08 PM

You'll need to replace the line '%configure... ' to use the appropriate cmake command as mentioned in the error.

If you extract the tarball to a temp dir you should be able to investigate the scripts and see what commands are actually used

You may need to replace the 'make ...' line as well, I haven't read up on cmake

Might be quicker to download a previous version srpm for kde-xxx and take a look at the spec file

This is a much larger subject that I first thought.

Trying to juggle between differing standards is difficult.

Maybe my small brain. lol

I'm going to attempt to build and install using checkinstall, on my system.

ref. http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mandriva_RPM_HOWTO

Quote:

Alternative: checkinstall

A very easy way to build RPMs for personal use is to install the checkinstall package; compile from source as usual (./configure && make && sudo make install), but just replace the make install step by checkinstall. This automates building an RPM, and is very simple to use. The advantage is that you don't ever have to bypass the package manager when compiling from source. (However, it's probably A Good Idea to build RPMs "properly" as described above, if you intend to distribute them to others.)

Thanks for your assistance, I'll be back!

cheers and regards Glenn
