Sorry, but I say compiling in sense of installing programs obtained from its source code. My questions are how to setting the parameters for config, make and make install, etc. Thank you Thadeu On Tuesday 06 January 2004 07:17, Mads Martin Joergensen wrote:

Hi,

There are some tutorial or howto about compiling for SuSE?

It's possible to compile Fortran 77 if you install the package gcc-g77. It should be on the CDs.

Hi Thadeu, Once the development tools are installed, I'm not sure (thought I'm certainly no expert) that there is a set of specific things you need to do for SuSE compilation as such. It seems to me that you are mostly left to find your way through the documentation in the tarball, and sometimes you need to tell the compile to look in specific places for libraries, etc. Most things I've compiled successfully on SuSE just went ./configure, make, make install. Perhaps others can put me right if there's a better way. Cheers Fergus

I don't think there is nothing specific to SuSE - just check the paths that it is going to use, and change those that do not seem right. Most sources will use the "/usr/source" tree. The sequence is the same most times: ./configure, make, make install - but read the docs that each package has. I usually change the "make install" part with "checkinstall"; this will create an rpm - possibly non optimal, but it's an rpm - that will keep the rpm database happy, and yast will not complain too much. If your goal is to create rpm for distribution, well made for a SuSE install, then I can not help you. The important part is creating a good spec file, I suppose. There is a chroot build environment... but I'm unsure if this is documented, and where (esp. how to to make the spec file). There have been threads on this list about this. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
