[opensuse-factory] checkinstall fails on every source
Hey Group; M7's checkinstall is not working. Every time I try it checkinstall fails on building the RPM. checkinstall-1.6.1-105.2.i586. It fails to find a /usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/(source-file-name) -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

so you looked at /usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/ and the source is there? -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I looked at /usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/ and the source is not there? Checkinstal when run goes prefectly until the RPM part - it fails and the error Y/N answered "Y" shows the error. Also SuSE's checkinstall is missing files that are in the checkinstall source. It's default location is /usr/local also. I would rpm -e SuSE's version and install from source however, some /usr/include files have changed and now the source will not compile.
No - that whole directory is always empty -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Does it actually say BUILDROOT or do you mean $BUILDROOT ? houghi -- Dr. Walter Gibbs: Won't that be grand?

This is the new default buildroot.. ohh btw.. just do not use checkinstall. quite broken stuff there... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I sent these instructions for using rpmbuild to another thread but maybe, if you can use source rpm's they may help. If you install the source package using, for instance xine-libs, zypper si -r Packman xine-lib then all the necessary devel packages are automatically installed as well. You can search for source packages with zypper se -st srcpackage xine to get a listing of matching source packages and the repository they're in. The spec file is installed in /usr/src/packages/SPECS, simply execute as root :- rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/xine-libs.spec to build the rpms which will be in /usr/src/packages/RPMS under their arch directory i.e. i386, i486, i586, i686, noarch or x86_64 Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
